About this map

Indian Peak and the high plateaus of Juniper Mesa dominate this landscape within the Prescott National Forest during the early 21st century. The map reveals an intricate network of seasonal drainage and water management essential for land use in this arid environment, evidenced by the numerous tanks such as Section Twentyfive Tank, Cement Tank, and the curiously named Windshield Tank. These features, along with Walnut Cr and Apache Cr, highlight the importance of water sources in the high desert of Yavapai County.

Transportation through this high country is defined by Forest Service 6 Rd and Co Rd 68, which provide access to isolated springs like Juniper Spring and Ash Spring. These natural landmarks, alongside Indian Hill and Bald Mtn, offer a detailed look at the geographical markers used by travelers and land managers. The presence of Indian Spring Number Three and Indian Springs further underscores the historical reliance on these specific riparian points in an otherwise dry terrain of washes like Hitt Wash and Mud Tank Wash.
