2021 Map of Turkey Canyon

About this map

Prescott National Forest encompasses the high-elevation terrain of this Arizona survey, defined by the prominent Juniper Mountains and the descending drainage of Turkey Canyon. The landscape is a complex network of seasonal water sources and livestock tanks, such as Rock Hole Tank, Wolf Tank, and Happy Camp Tank, which are essential features in this arid environment. These water catchments, alongside named landmarks like Haystack Peak and Turkey Flat, illustrate the historical and ongoing use of the land for ranching and resource management within the national forest boundaries. Transportation through this remote section of Yavapai County relies on forest roads like FR 664 and the historic Military Trl, providing access to isolated peaks including Deer Mtn and Red Mtn. The map's detail reflects the specialized infrastructure required to sustain activity in a region where geography and water scarcity dictate human movement.
