2018 Map of Page Springs

About this map

Page Springs and the northern reaches of Cottonwood anchor this survey of the Verde Valley hinterlands. The landscape transitions from the suburban edges of the city into the protected lands of the Coconino National Forest, where the terrain is marked by significant features like Loy Canyon and Windmill Mtn. Water management is a defining characteristic of this arid region, evidenced by an extensive network of livestock tanks such as Wheatfield Tank Number One and Skeleton Bone Tank, alongside the vital flow of Oak Creek and the man-made Spring Ditch. Historical land use is visible in the presence of a Lime Kiln, suggesting early industrial activity or resource extraction. The map also delineates modern access through a complex of forest service roads including Sycamore Pass Rd and Loy Butte Rd, which navigate the elevation changes between Anderson Butte and Sheepshead Canyon.
