2012 Map of Middle Verde

About this map

The Verde River corridor anchors this portion of Yavapai County, where the settlement of Middle Verde and the Middle Verde Cem reveal the historical roots of the area. The landscape is defined by the transition from riverine lowlands to the higher elevations of the Black Hills, marked by seasonal water sources and ranching infrastructure. Vital water management features like the Eureka Ditch and numerous livestock-related landmarks, such as Bates Windmill, Grassy Mountain Windmill, and Copper Corral, highlight the area's agricultural and pastoral legacy. To the south, the Flower Pot Ranch sits near the namesake Flower Pot and Flowerpot Tank, while the terrain rises toward Table Mountain and Grassy Mountain. Transport through the region follows old routes like Old Hwy 279, connecting small clusters of development like Aultman to the surrounding canyons and mesas.
