2018 Map of Mount Josh

About this map

Prescott National Forest dominates this interior landscape of Yavapai County, where the high-elevation terrain is defined by dramatic peaks like Mt Josh and Tonto Mtn. The map reveals a complex network of seasonal water sources and ranching infrastructure, characterized by numerous stock tanks such as Toohey Tank, Moana Tank, and Pemberton Tank. Significant drainages including Strickland Wash and Skull Valley Wash carve through the land, while named springs like Bootlegger Spring, Holden Spring, and Sheep Camp Springs suggest a history of human and livestock reliance on these specific points. The road network, including Fair Oaks Rd and Tonto Rd, follows the natural contours of the canyons and ridges. This 2018 survey provides an essential record of the contemporary landscape, showing how modern names like Toohey Trick Tank and El Diamante sit alongside longstanding features like Weed Canyon.
