2012 Map of Humboldt

About this map

Dewey and Humboldt anchor this part of the Agua Fria River valley, reflecting a settlement pattern deeply tied to the local water sources and the surrounding terrain. The Agua Fria River meanders through the western section, while a dense network of washes and gulches like Yarber Wash, Grapevine Gulch, and Green Gulch drain the higher elevations. This landscape is marked by numerous named water features essential to life in this arid region, including Pine Flat Spring, Tex Canyon Tank, and Bruce Spring. Local history and genealogy interest is centered around the Henderson Cem and Humboldt Cem, which stand as landmarks for the community. The map details a transition from established residential streets like Madrid St and E Prescott St to the more open ranching and mining country defined by forest roads and drainage basins, illustrating the enduring relationship between the small Arizona towns and the physical geography of Yavapai County.
