2021 Map of Prospect Point

About this map

Prospect Point and the towering Aubrey Cliffs dominate this high-desert landscape in Coconino County. The terrain is defined by dramatic verticality, where Prospect Ridge overlooks the deep incision of Mohawk Canyon. Settlement is sparse in this arid environment, evidenced by the prevalence of named water catchments rather than towns. These vital features, including Copper Tank, Turkey Tank, and Natural Tank, reflect the primary infrastructure of the range. The north-south corridor of Co RD 11 provides the only significant transit route, following the floor of Laguna Valley alongside Mohawk Cr. This topography, characterized by limestone rims and seasonal drainages like Albers Wash, indicates a landscape managed for cattle and conservation rather than urban development.
