2014 Map of Lake Montezuma

About this map

Mcguireville and Lake Montezuma sit at the intersection of arid desert terrain and the lush riparian corridors of the Verde Valley. This 2014 survey illustrates the complex water management system of the high desert, where numerous man-made features like Beaverhead Tank Number One and Winter Cabin Tank support life away from the primary flows of Wet Beaver Cr and Dry Beaver Cr. The map details the transition from the residential street grids of Lake Montezuma to the protected wilderness of the Coconino National Forest. Significant cultural and natural landmarks are noted, including the archaeological importance of Montezuma Castle National Monument and the aviation hub at Rimrock Airport. The landscape is further defined by notable landforms such as the White Hills and the wide expanse of Beaverhead Flat, showing the modern infrastructure of State Hwy 179 as it cuts through the canyons.
