About this map

Prescott National Forest encompasses the southern portion of this landscape, where the rising slopes of the Juniper Mountains meet the vast drainage of the Big Chino Valley. This area of Yavapai County is defined by its water management features, critical for ranching and livestock in the arid Arizona interior. Numerous livestock tanks, such as Dead Horse Tank, Maverick Tank, and Sullivan Tanks, are scattered throughout the township sections, indicating the historical and continued reliance on surface water collection. The wide channel of Big Chino Wash winds through the central valley floor, serving as a primary hydrologic corridor. Human activity is marked by the presence of W Double O Ranch Rd, which provides access through the valley, and the distinct boundaries of several sections including t21n r5w and t22n r5w. The map illustrates the transition from the broad valley bottom to the higher, more complex terrain of the neighboring mountains.
