Prescott occupies a highland basin in north-central Arizona, between the Bradshaw Mountains and the Granite Dells, where weathered granite boulders shape the outskirts. At roughly 5,400 feet (1,646 metres), the city has a markedly cooler climate than the Sonoran Desert lowlands. Granite Creek passes through town, while Prescott National Forest extends across the surrounding uplands. The Courthouse Plaza remains the civic centre, and nearby Whiskey Row recalls Prescott’s role as Arizona Territory’s capital from 1864.
