About this map

Ives Peak and the surrounding high desert of Yavapai County are defined by a complex network of drainage basins and sharp topographical rises. In this 2011 survey, the landscape is marked by the South Fork Santa Maria River in the northeast and the prominent Black Mountains across the southern half of the quadrangle. The terrain is punctuated by significant summits including Violas Peak, McLendon Peak, and Negro Ben Peak, offering a clear view of the geological character of this arid region.

Human presence is sparse, represented primarily by the Arizona Highway Maintenance Yard along the northern road corridor. Natural water features like Fig Spring and the winding course of Hackberry Wash provide the primary geographic markers through the high country. Navigational points such as Aso Pass and the distinctive Shiprock formation highlight the routes through this portion of Arizona's interior plateau.
