2018 Map of Turkey Canyon

About this map

Turkey Flat sits at the southwestern base of the Juniper Mountains, marking a rare level area in this upland territory within the Prescott National Forest. The landscape is defined by its water management systems, where numerous earthen catchments like Wolf Tank, Hughs Tank, and Happy Camp Tank support land use across the township lines. Movement through the area relies on a network of forest routes, including FR 664 and the Military road, which navigate the high elevations near Haystack Peak and Deer Mtn. This late-era survey documents the persistent reliance on high-desert water sources in a region where the geography remains largely unchanged from earlier settlement patterns.
