About this map

The Juniper Mountains dominate this high-desert landscape in Yavapai County, characterized by a complex network of canyons and seasonal water sources. The northern reaches of the Prescott National Forest transition into the expansive Red Lake Flat, where the ephemeral Red Lake and nearby Red Lake Tank provide vital water in a region defined by drainage systems like Red Lake Draw and Purcell Canyon.

A sparse network of rural roads and trails, including Anvil Rock Rd and Walkabout Trl, connects isolated points of interest such as the curiously named Jackass Acres and Jolly Place Peak. The prevalence of named water tanks—such as Gosney Tank, Greeley Tank, and Hooker Tank—illustrates the critical importance of water management for ranching and wildlife in this part of Arizona. Natural features like Green Waterhole Spring offer rare permanent water points within the rugged draws and canyons.
