Lonesome Valley is a 23-mile (37 km) long〔Arizona Road & Recreation Atlas, c. 1998, pp. 34, 40.〕 valley located in central-north Yavapai County, Arizona; the valley is an extension southeastwards from Chino Valley (Arizona), the location of the Big Chino Wash, which becomes the Verde River at Paulden, Arizona; Paulden is located at the northwest terminus of Lonesome Valley. A small sub-valley is located on the northeast perimeter of Chino Valley, Arizona, located in the center-northwest of Lonesome Valley. The valley is named Little Chino Valley,〔Arizona Road & Recreation Atlas, p. 34.〕 and is the small valley link between Chino Valley, northwest, and Lonesome Valley, southeast. The notable landforms of Granite Mountain lie west-southwest, and Granite Dells are at the southwest perimeter. The massif of the Black Hills (Yavapai County) form the east border of Lonesome Valley. An important water divide is at the south terminus region of the valley at the north of Prescott Valley, Arizona, separating the ''Verde River watershed'' from the ''Agua Fria River watershed''; both watersheds are north tributaries to the Gila River, flowing west across central-south Arizona. ==Description== Lonesome Valley is an approximately north-northwest trending valley. It is dissected in its center by an upside-down V-shaped, double watercourse. Granite Creek-(Granite Creek Wash) is west, and an unnamed wash is east-(a tributary to Granite Wash); both flow north to meet the Verde River, at the north of Little Black Mesa. The unnamed wash at Lonesome Valley's south end flows south from the water divide, north of Prescott Valley, to meet the Agua Fria River. Coyote Wash courses southwesterly just east, (see satellite photo). Lonesome Valley appears somewhat circular, but the Chino Valley townsite is on a flatland region at the northwest. Alluvial fans lie at the east with the west flank of the Black Hills. The Granite Mountain (Arizona) region at the west-southwest, has a large dissected alluvial section at its northeast. The southwest perimeter of Lonesome Valley borders the north of Granite Dells, where Granite Creek exits flowing north. Watson Lake is at the south of the Dells, where Granite Creek enters. The highpoint of the valley is Black Hill, ), on the east bank of Granite Creek, and at valley center-southwest.
