The Chino Valley of Arizona is a large, 70-mi (113 km) long[1] valley, centered on Seligman, Arizona in northwest Yavapai County and southwest Coconino County. The valley is located at the southwest of the Coconino Plateau and lies in the extreme northwest of Arizona's transition zone.
Big Chino Wash drains the valley's center, and is one of the major northwest watersheds feeding into the Verde River, which drains southeast, then due south to meet the Salt and Gila Rivers at Phoenix.
Chino Valley, Arizona and Paulden lie at the southeast terminus of the valley's southern section, and is the common named beginning region of the Verde River.
