About this map

Walker Mountain and the surrounding high country of Yavapai County are defined by a network of ranching outposts and strategic water management. In the early 21st century, this landscape remains centered on livestock operations like the M Diamond Ranch in the north and Bull Pen Ranch near the center of the sheet. The terrain is marked by prominent landforms including Thirteenmile Rock Butte, Cedar Mountain, and Black Mountain, which overlook a series of basins such as Walker Basin and Blodgett Basin.

Water security in this arid environment is evidenced by the density of named stock tanks, including the Walker Rim Tank, Goswick Lake Tank, and the Hollingshead Tank system. These features, along with drainage networks like Wickup Creek and Walker Creek, illustrate the historical and ongoing importance of water rights in the region. The map also traces the route of the National Forest 618 Rd, which provides access through the Cedar Flats toward these remote peaks and canyons.
