:''For other uses of Black Hills, see Black Hills (disambiguation); for the other mountain range in Arizona, see: Black Hills (Greenlee County)'' The Black Hills of Yavapai County are a large mountain range of central Arizona in southeast Yavapai County. It is bordered by the Verde Valley to the east. The northwest section of the range is bisected from the southeast section by Interstate 17, which is the main route connecting Phoenix to Sedona, Oak Creek Canyon, and Flagstaff. This bisection point is the approximate center of the mostly northwest by southeast trending range. The northwest section contains a steep escarpment on the northeast with the Verde Valley, the escarpment being the location of the fault-block that created the historic mining district at Jerome. The range is also the first major fault-blocked range west of the Mogollon Rim on the southwest margin of the Colorado Plateau in Arizona. The range is at the northwest-center of the Arizona transition zone which extends diagonally across central Arizona. == Description == The highest point of the Black Hills (Arizona) is Woodchute Mountain at .〔(Mingus Mountain, Peakbagger.com (highest closed contour) )〕〔''Hickey Mountain, Arizona'' and ''Munds Draw, Arizona,'' 7.5 Minute Topographic Quadrangles, USGS, 1971 and 1973〕 Mingus Mountain lies south of Woodchute Mountain with historic Cherry further to the southeast. Three wilderness areas are located in the range, the Woodchute Wilderness in the northwest, and the Cedar Bench and Pine Mountain Wildernesses in the southeast. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Black Hills (Yavapai County)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
