About this map

Prescott National Forest encompasses this section of Yavapai County, defined by a complex network of springs, washes, and prominent peaks. The terrain is anchored by Sheridan Mountain and the Connell Mountains in the north, while the landscape below is carved by Cottonwood Wash and Loco Creek. This area relies on a specialized water management system for ranching or forestry, as evidenced by numerous livestock tanks such as Metote Pit Tank, Yolo Trick Tank, and Corral Spring Tank.

Remote landforms like South Mesa and Cedar Mesa provide distinct geographic markers, alongside curiously named features such as Moonshine Canyon and Oregano Basin. Local history researchers will find several named springs, including the sequential Moonshine Spring Number Two and Moonshine Spring Number Three, indicating the vital importance of water sources in this arid high-country environment. The map also captures the isolated Sheridan Lake and the distinct volcanic profile of BT Butte.
