2018 Map of Mount Hope

About this map

Mt Hope dominates the western landscape of this Yavapai County terrain, serving as a high-altitude anchor for a network of springs and drainage washes. This 2018 survey details the complex system of natural water sources vital to this arid region, including Upper Mount Hope Spring and Lower Mount Hope Spring which feed into Hope Wash. The landscape is defined by its seasonal hydrology, with Muddy Wash and Burro Cr carving paths through high-elevation flats like Sawmill Flat. Remote ranching infrastructure is evidenced by scattered water tanks such as Lutcky Tank and Cabin Tank. To the east, the topography rises sharply toward Dairy Mtn and Janes Butte, while Aztec Pass provides a natural corridor through the northern ridges. Access remains limited to primitive routes like Sand Stone Rd and Anvil Rock Rd, reflecting the area's enduring character as an undeveloped expanse.
