About this map

Matterhorn and the surrounding high desert terrain define this intersection of the Kaibab National Forest and Prescott National Forest in central Arizona. This landscape is a complex network of seasonal drainages and water management points, where Rattlesnake Wash and Wagon Tire Wash cut through the plateau. The map details an extensive system of forest access roads, such as Fire Rd 175 and Mc Quarry Rd, which historically supported ranching and resource management across the Yavapai and Coconino county line.

Local landforms like Wild Steer Mesa and Hells Pocket illustrate the dramatic topography, while numerous water catchments like Winter Camp Tank and Rock House Tank provide evidence of the area's essential infrastructure for livestock. Researchers can trace the varied elevations from Wagon Tire Flat up to the prominent S P Hill, capturing the character of this rangeland in the early twenty-first century.
