2014 Map of Joes Hill

About this map

The Aqua Fria River carves through this high-elevation landscape in Yavapai County, defining the drainage patterns of the surrounding mesas and canyons. The terrain is characterized by broad plateaus such as Perry Mesa and Black Mesa, which are incised by deep geological features like Baby Canyon and Lousy Canyon. To the west, the path of I 17 provides modern access along the edge of Alkali Canyon, while the eastern portion of the map transitions into the protected lands of the Tonto National Forest. Numerous small tanks, including Joes Tank and Antelope Tank, are scattered across the landscape, suggesting the importance of water catchment in this arid environment. Named landmarks like Joes Hill and various washes such as Badger Spring Wash and Hackberry Wash provide specific points of reference for those tracing geographical features in this region.
