About this map

Simmons and its surrounding ranch lands appear in this late-1940s survey of the high desert terrain north of Prescott. The landscape is defined by the broad drainage systems of Williamson Valley and Big Chino Wash, where a network of windmills supports a sprawling cattle ranching economy. Significant local holdings like Las Vegas Ranch, Matli Ranch, and the Wineglass Ranch are clearly identified, alongside smaller landmarks such as the Eddy Place and Seven V Ranch. The topography transitions from the flatlands of the washes to the prominent heights of Limestone Pk and Simmons Pk. To the south, Inscription Canyon and Strickland Wash cut through the hills, while the Antelope Dam and various earthen tanks provide critical water infrastructure for the Prescott National Forest region. This map provides a detailed view of the remote homesteads and grazing lands before modern development reached this section of Yavapai County.
