About this map

Prescott National Forest encompasses the high country of Yavapai County, where the Juniper Mountains meet the Santa Maria Mountains. This 2014 survey reveals a landscape defined by seasonal water management and natural springs, vital for livestock and local wildlife in this arid region. Numerous tanks and catchments, such as Deer Tank, Bear Mountain Tank, and Pot-Hole Tank, are scattered across the terrain, indicating the importance of water storage along the various drainages like N Fork Walnut Cr and Turkey Cr.

Named natural features like George Wood Canyon and Gobbler Knob provide navigational landmarks for those traversing the heights of Juniper Mesa. The map also identifies several groundwater sources, including Dairy Spring, Lee Spring, and Government Spring, which have long served as reliable points in the high desert. Ranchers and land managers can trace the network of Forest Service roads, including Co RD 68 and CR 125, that provide access through these remote mountainous corridors.
