2018 Map of Meath Spring

About this map

Meath Spring serves as a central landmark in this high-desert region of Yavapai County, where the landscape is defined by its critical water management infrastructure. The transition between the Kaibab National Forest to the north and the Prescott National Forest to the south is marked by an extensive network of specialized water catchments. These features, such as Railroad Fill Tank, Pipeline Tank, and Hells Canyon Tank, illustrate the ranching and industrial requirements of the arid terrain. The presence of Big Black Mesa and the winding Devil Dog Canyon reveal the complex topography that early settlers and modern forest managers navigated. A web of local roads, including Rattlesnake Rd and Hell Can Tank Rd, provides access to private holdings like Juniper Wood Ranch, connecting these remote outposts to the larger forest systems and the seasonal flows of Meath Wash.
