2018 Map of Vernon

About this map

Vernon occupies the southern reach of this Apache County landscape, where the high desert terrain transitions into the protected woodlands of the Sitgreaves National Forest. The map documents a complex network of county roads and named residential ways, such as Harley Davidson Rd and Cochise Trl, that weave through the subdivided sections north of the main settlement. Surface water is a defining characteristic of this arid region, marked by seasonal drainages and permanent points like Laguna Salada Spring. Prominent relief features, including Dutch Mtn and Smooth Knoll, anchor the central and western portions of the quadrangle. The presence of Anderson Lake and the smaller Lake Hole indicate significant hydrographic features that have likely influenced local land use and ranching patterns for generations. The survey provides a clear view of how rural development has expanded along the state and local road systems while maintaining proximity to the natural boundaries of the national forest.
