1979 Map of Matterhorn

About this map

Kaibab National Forest and Prescott National Forest converge in this high-country landscape, where the Coconino and Yavapai county boundary cuts across the timber and scrub. The terrain is defined by deep drainages like Hell Canyon and Rattlesnake Wash, interspersed with volcanic and sedimentary features such as Wild Steer Mesa and the prominent Matterhorn peak. Extensive ranching and resource extraction footprints are evident throughout the quadrangle, marked by dozens of named stock-watering tanks including Winter Camp Tank, Rock House Tank, and Deadman Tanks.
