About this map

Prescott National Forest encompasses the majority of this high-elevation terrain in Yavapai County, defined by a complex network of canyons and mesas. The landscape is punctuated by prominent landmarks such as Martin Mtn and Bald Mtn, with local hydrography centered on seasonal flows and scattered water sources. Water management is evident through numerous livestock tanks like Hudson Tank and North Bald Mountain Tank, which support ranching activities in this arid environment.

Remote infrastructure and historical movement are marked by features such as Wood Trap and the Granite Tank Trl. The geography transitions from the flat expanse of Sycamore Mesa to the intricate drainages of Dougherty Canyon and Black Canyon. These features indicate a long-standing reliance on natural springs, including Grapevine Springs and Dougherty Spring, to sustain life and industry across the broken terrain of the southwest.
