About this map

Squaw Peak dominates the western horizon of this high-desert landscape in Yavapai County, overlooking a network of dry washes and canyons that define the local drainage patterns. The terrain transitions from the open expanse of Red Lake Flat and the Red Lake basin into the more complex topography of Purcell Canyon and the northern reaches of the Juniper Mountains. A significant portion of the southeastern corner is protected within the Prescott National Forest.

Water management is the primary marker of human presence here, evidenced by numerous named stock tanks such as Gosney Tank and Greeley Tank, along with the Green Waterhole Spring. The area is laced with a grid of remote roads and named tracks, including Anvil Rock Rd and the ironically named Jackass Acres, reflecting a contemporary era of rural subdivision and ranching access across the high plateau.
