2014 Map of Poland Junction

About this map

The Bradshaw Mountains anchor the southwestern portion of this landscape, where the high-elevation terrain of the Prescott National Forest descends toward the high desert floor. The eastern edge is defined by the settlement corridor along the highway, including Poland Junction and the town of Mayer. This transition from the forested heights of Spud Mtn to the drainage basins of Big Bug Cr and Grapevine Cr illustrates the topographical complexity of Yavapai County. Local industry and access are evidenced by specialized routes such as E Hackberry Mine Rd and Ricks Pit Rd. To the west, the community of Walker sits tucked within the timbered gulches, connected by narrow winding roads like Walker Rd and Vault Rd, reflecting a legacy of mountain settlement and resource extraction within the canyon systems of Chaparral Gulch and Mule Canyon.
