About this map

The Verde River flows through the northern reaches of this Yavapai County landscape, providing a critical water source for the surrounding high desert. The terrain is defined by the broad expanse of Lonesome Valley to the south and the rising elevation of Saint Matthews Mountain in the southeast. This 2012 survey illustrates the essential infrastructure of ranching and water management in the region, with a network of cattle tanks and basins scattered across the topography.

Named features like Gold Basin Canyon and King Tanks highlight the importance of these drainage systems and catchments. Transportation is primarily facilitated by unpaved routes such as E Perkinsville Rd and Vaquero Trl, connecting remote grazing lands. For researchers and local historians, the map offers a precise record of water rights and land use markers, including named landmarks like Robert E Tank and Muldoon Tank.
