About this map

Verde Hot Springs sits along the winding course of the Verde River, marking a point of convergence for three national forests. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes across Black Ridge, Skeleton Ridge, and the prominent Squaw Butte. A network of water sources, including Tanko Caliente and Warm Spring, highlights the hydrologic importance of this arid landscape.

Evidence of historical land use and early ranching persists in the labeling of numerous livestock tanks like Deadman Tank and Beck Tank. The map also traces the boundary between Yavapai County and Gila County, following the natural divide created by the river and high ridges. Significant landmarks such as Ikes Backbone and Hells Hole punctuate the complex topography of the canyonlands, while Lancaster represents the primary named settlement in this section of the central Arizona highlands.
