About this map

The Matterhorn prominence rises as a central landmark in this high-desert landscape, situated where the Kaibab National Forest and Prescott National Forest meet. The terrain is defined by a series of drainages and pockets, including Hells Pocket and Millers Pocket, which illustrate the complex erosion patterns of the area. Ranching and water management history is evident through the numerous named water sources scattered across the dry basins, such as Deadman Tanks, Shell Rock Tank, and Bass Pond Tank.

Modern recreation and historic transport intersect along the Stage Station Mtn. Bike trail and various forest roads. These routes follow the natural corridors of the land, navigating around features like Wild Steer Mesa and the wide expanse of Wagon Tire Flat. This 2018 survey provides an intricate view of the borderlands between Yavapai and Coconino counties, where the high-altitude topography of Tule Basin drops into the deep cut of Hell Canyon.
