2021 Map of Red Mountain

About this map

The Prescott National Forest covers much of this high-desert terrain, where the Juniper Mountains transition into the wide expanse of the Big Chino Valley. The landscape is defined by its water management systems, essential for cattle ranching and wildlife in this arid region of Arizona. A network of named reservoirs, including Iron Mine Tank, Schroeder Tank, and Walter Spreader Tank, are scattered across the township lines. These features, often named for local figures or proximity to landmarks like Red Mtn, offer a clear look at the infrastructure required for land use in the backcountry. Access is provided by a series of primitive routes such as FR 664 and other Forest Service roads, which cut through the drainage basins of the Pine Spring Draw Tank and surrounding slopes.
