2011 Map of Mount Hope

About this map

Mount Hope serves as the namesake landmark for this Yavapai County territory, anchoring a landscape defined by seasonal water sources and ranching history. The settlement pattern is sparse, represented by sites like the O RO Ranch and the industrial or temporary staging areas at Sawmill Flat and Sandstone Camp. The movement of water is the primary architect of the terrain, with Burro Creek and Muddy Wash cutting through the high country. Numerous smaller features like Upper Mount Hope Spring, Lower Mount Hope Spring, and Hidden Spring suggest a reliance on specific points of groundwater for both livestock and early inhabitants. Topographical variety is found in named heights such as Janes Butte, Ferguson Ridge, and Dairy Mountain, while deep drainages like Pine Canyon and Coyote Canyon provide natural corridors through the varied elevations of the Arizona desert.
