About this map

Skull Valley serves as the focal point of this 2012 survey, situated at the confluence of several prominent drainages. The landscape is defined by the seasonal flow of Skull Valley Wash and Woolsey Wash, which support a network of ranching outposts such as Bar U Ranch and Contreras Ranch. Transportation and local infrastructure are anchored by the Yav'Pe Ma'Ta Airport and a dense collection of rural roads including Old School House Rd and S Peavine Rd.

Genealogical interest is found at the Skull Valley Cemetery, while the northern reaches show evidence of land management at Tonto Ranger Station Spring. The terrain transitions from the high ground of Cornfield Mountain and Young Mountain in the west down into Ferguson Valley, illustrating the persistent connection between water sources like Whiskey Spring and the placement of cattle tanks and remote settlements across this Yavapai County corridor.
