About this map

Prescott National Forest dominates this high-country landscape in Yavapai County, where ranching infrastructure and seasonal water management define the local geography. The map centers on the small settlement of Simmons and the surrounding Williamson Valley, a region characterized by extensive drainage systems and dry washes. The importance of water conservation in this arid environment is evident through the numerous named reservoirs and catchment points, such as Sampson Tank, Stewart Dam Tank, and Knob Tank.

Surface water movement follows a distinct pattern through Williamson Valley Wash, fed by tributaries like Horse Wash and Strickland Wash. The network of local roads, including Campwood Rd and N Williamson Valley Rd, connects these remote outposts and forest lands. Land ownership and management are delineated by the forest boundary and the township and range lines, which overlay the diverse terrain of Long Canyon and the surrounding plateaus.
