Prescott National Forest (Map Set) | National Geographic

National Geographic's Trails Illustrated map deck of the Prescott National Forest covers a forest that, today, looks much the same as it did when Sam Miller was panning for gold in Lynx Creek and was wounded by a cougar, or when General Crook's flag flew over Palace Station. At the lowest elevation, the primary vegetation is Sonoran Desert-type. As the elevation increases, chaparral becomes common, followed by piñon pine and juniper. Above that, ponderosa pine dominates the landscape. With miles of mapped trails, these maps can guide you off the beaten path and back into some of the region's most breathtaking scenery. The basemap includes contour lines, shaded relief, and elevations for peaks and passes. The Prescott National Forest Map Pack includes: Map 854: Sycamore Canyon, Verde Valley Map 857: Apache Creek, Juniper Mesa Map 858: Bradshaw Mountains Each Trails Illustrated map is printed on waterproof, tear-resistant "Backcountry Tough" paper.
