About this map

The Verde Rim provides a sharp natural boundary in this 2014 study of the Yavapai County high country, where the Prescott National Forest and Tonto National Forest meet. The landscape is defined by its complex drainage network and elevated flats, including Tule Mesa and Little Mesa. A network of water sources, such as Tule Spring, Chalk Spring, and Nelson Place Spring, indicates a terrain where water management is vital for ranching and forest operations.

Transport through this territory is marked by significant passages like Mockingbird Pass and the winding Dougas Rd. Notable landmarks like Mt Thomas and Pine Mtn anchor the topography, while deep cuts like Beehouse Canyon and Trap Canyon illustrate the erosive forces at work. The map documents numerous tanks and gulches, such as Willow Spring Gulch and Tule Canyon Tank, which serve as essential infrastructure in this arid environment.
