2021 Map of Seepage Mountain

About this map

Prescott National Forest encompasses this rugged terrain in Yavapai County, where high peaks and desert washes dictate the flow of water and travel. The landscape is dominated by notable heights such as Seepage Mtn, Johnson Mtn, and Denny Mtn, punctuated by complex drainage systems like Wickiup Canyon and Williamson Valley Wash. Human presence is marked by a network of ranching infrastructure and remote trails, including the Dead Steer Basin Trl and Tailholt Mesa Trl. Reliable water sources are sparse but critical, evidenced by named features like Little Quail Spring, Whiskey Spring, and the Cement Troughs Spring. These springs and tanks, such as the Williamson Valley Tank and Cold Water Tank, define the historical and modern utility of the land for cattle and wildlife management. The map provides a detailed view of the high-elevation flats like Flat Top and the varied mesas including Wickiup Mesa and Tailholt Mesa, illustrating the varied topography of this western Arizona wilderness.
