2011 Map of Joes Hill

About this map

The Agua Fria River carves a deep path through this high desert region of Yavapai County, defining a landscape dominated by expansive plateaus and drainage systems. Perry Mesa and Black Mesa stand as prominent landforms, overlooking a network of named canyons including Baby Canyon, Lousy Canyon, and Perry Tank Canyon. The presence of numerous water management features like Perry Windmill, New Windmill, and various cattle tanks such as Bull Tank and Lousy Tank reflects the ranching history and necessity of water in this arid environment. Transportation is anchored by the Badger Spring Interchange and Bloody Basin Rd, while smaller watercourses like Bishop Creek and Larry Creek feed into the primary river valley, marking the complex hydrology of the high desert before it drops into the lower basins.
