About this map

Prescott National Forest dominates this section of Yavapai County, where the high-altitude terrain of the Juniper Mountains meets the wide expanse of the Big Chino Valley. This 2014 survey reveals a landscape primarily managed for ranching and forest service, defined by a sophisticated network of water catchments essential for high-desert survival. Named features such as Iron Mine Tank, Big Dam Tank, and the Red Mountain Tanks illustrate the historical and ongoing importance of water management in this arid region.

Transport through this isolated country is maintained via a system of forest service routes, including Forest Service 6 Rd and FR 731, which trace the drainages of Pine Cr. The map provides a look at the land division system within the forest, showing the boundaries of t20n r6w and other townships. Researchers will find a terrain devoid of dense settlement but rich in named landmarks used by ranchers and outdoorsmen.
