Map of Montezuma Castle National Monument in Arizona. Roads represented in red cross sparsely across the beige terrain to connect eight sites and ten towns.

Extended Description

Two of three sites labeled with callout boxes follow the Verde River, which cuts diagonally across the map from just under the top left corner to right of center along the bottom. The first of these is Tuzigoot National Monument at the edge of the northwest quadrant. Dead Horse State Park, Jerome State Historic Park, and the towns of Jerome, Cottonwood, and Clarkdale are nearby. The second of these is Montezuma Castle National Monument at the edge of the southeast quadrant. Fort Verde State Historic Park and the town of Camp Verde are nearby. The third callout box for Montezuma Well along with the towns of McGuireville and Lake Montezuma are just northeast of Montezuma Castle.

State Route Alt 89 and Interstate 17 both run diagonally across the map in a northeast direction. Alt 89 is farther west. It passes near Tuzigoot National Monument to continue to Red Rock State Park, Sedona, Slide Rock State Park, and Oak Creek Canyon in the top right quadrant. Alt 89 continues off the left edge of the map “To Prescott” and off the top “To Flagstaff.” Interstate 17 passes the Montezuma Castle and Well and continues also “To Flagstaff” in the top right corner. The interstate leads “To Phoenix” on the bottom edge. Other state routes connect these and the towns of Cornville, Page Springs, and Oak Creek, which are between the two highways.

Larger features across the map include Prescott National Forest to the top left, Coconino National Forest along the top edge, Verde Valley along the Verde River, and Black Hills in the lower left corner.
