About this map

Prescott National Forest dominates this section of Yavapai County, where high-altitude mesas and deep drainage systems define the ranching and forest landscape. The massive Big Black Mesa towers over the northern terrain, carved by the sharp descent of Butcher Knife Canyon and Limestone Canyon. This survey captures a specialized water management network essential for livestock and wildlife, featuring named points such as Fritsche Tank, Eddy Tank, and Mexican Tank. At lower elevations, the Big Chino Wash winds through the southwest, while more remote water sources like Pool Seep and Storm Seep are tucked into the drainages. Modern road labels like Beer Drinkings Rd and Juniper Wood Ranch Rd indicate the encroachment of rural residential tracks into the historic range lands.
