2018 Map of King Canyon

About this map

Chino Valley sits at the southern edge of this high-desert landscape, where the northern reaches of Lonesome Valley meet the rugged drainages of the Prescott National Forest. The terrain is defined by a series of deep canyons and draws, including King Canyon, Gold Basin Canyon, and Muldoon Canyon, which channel seasonal water toward the Verde River in the northeast corner. This modern survey reflects the vital role of water management in the Arizona backcountry, marking numerous livestock tanks such as Robert E Tank, Gold Tank, and Lower Wildcat Tank. These features, alongside family-named landmarks like Munds Draw Saint Matthews Mtn, underscore a history of ranching and land use. Local connectivity is maintained through rural routes like Haystack Rd and E Perkinsville Rd, which traverse the open flats and provide access to the interior forest boundaries.
