About this map

Prescott National Forest encompasses the rugged highlands of Yavapai County, defined by the prominent ridge lines of the Juniper Mountains and the distinct peak of Red Mtn. The landscape is a complex network of water management features essential for ranching and forest management, including numerous livestock tanks such as Iron Mine Tank, Big Dam Tank, and Schroeder Tank. These basins catch runoff across the arid terrain, providing critical water points for wildlife and local industry.

To the northeast, the terrain drops away into the broad expanse of Big Chino Valley, while the southern reaches are drained by the intermittent waters of Pine Cr. For researchers, the presence of various survey markers like BM 5311 and the primitive road network, including Forest Service 6 Rd and Yavapai 5 Co, reveals the infrastructure used to navigate and maintain this remote section of the forest in the late 2010s.
