2014 Map of Prescott

About this map

Prescott sits at the heart of this 2014 survey, illustrating the modern footprint of Arizona's territorial capital against the edges of the Prescott National Forest. The map documents a sophisticated educational and civic landscape, featuring the sprawling campuses of Embry Riddle Aeronautical University-Prescott, Yavapai Coll, and Prescott Coll. To the north and east, the expansion toward Williamson and Prescott Valley is visible, linked by the corridor of State Hwy 89. The region's critical water management is evident in the reservoirs of Watson Lake, Willow Cr Reservoir, and Lynx Lake, which punctuate the high-desert terrain. To the west, the prominent landmark of Thumb Butte stands over the city, while the southern reaches transition into the more secluded drainage of Schoolhouse Gulch.
