2018 Map of Willow Spring Canyon

About this map

Black Canyon City sits at the western edge of this landscape, where the Agua Fria River cuts through the high desert terrain. The map captures a rugged transition between the Yavapai and Maricopa county line, dominated by the sprawling southern reaches of the Tonto National Forest. Water sources are critical markers here, with named features like Chino Corral Spring, Shortt Smith Spring, and Woody Tank punctuating the arid canyons and mesas. The topographic detail highlights the prominent Squaw Creek Mesa and the ascending slopes of the New River Mountains to the southeast. Local ranching and utility access is reflected in the network of unpaved routes such as Tara Springs Rd and Landfill Rd, while the steep drainages of Willow Spring Canyon and Sycamore Canyon define the area's complex drainage into Squaw Creek.
