General description
|
Agua Fria National Monument is located about 40 miles north of Phoenix and contains two mesas – Perry Mesa and Black Mesa. It is 71,000 acres of semi-desert area, which includes some rich riparian habitat along the Agua Fria River. This monument contains some of the most significant prehistoric sites in the southwest – at least 450 prehistoric sites inside the monument. This area suffers from its proximity to the sprawling Phoenix area and has been subject to vandalism.
