2018 Map of Simmons

About this map

Williamson Valley and the small settlement of Simmons occupy a landscape defined by seasonal watercourses and arid ranchlands in central Yavapai County. The terrain is structured by the prominent Williamson Valley Wash, which is fed by numerous tributaries including Strickland Wash and Horse Wash. Human management of this environment is evident in the high density of livestock water tanks, such as Stewart Dam Tank, Lower Tailholt Tank, and Knob Tank, scattered across the plains and hills. The western portion of the region is protected as part of the Prescott National Forest, while the eastern flats are subdivided by a network of ranch roads like W Las Vegas Ranch Rd and N 7V Ranch Rd. Significant topographical features like Jasper Ridge and Long Canyon provide local relief in an area traditionally used for large-scale grazing operations.
