About this map

Big Springs serves as the focal point of this high-plateau survey, situated near a Ranger Station and a notable Lookout Tower within the Kaibab National Forest. The landscape is defined by the deep incisions of Moquitch Canyon, Riggs Canyon, and Sowats Canyon, which transition into the Grand Canyon National Game Preserve. Water sources are vital markers across this arid terrain, including several named points such as Mourning Dove Spring, Mangum Springs, and the artificial catchment at Sawmill Tank. The map also traces the Gila and Salt River Meridian, a critical surveying boundary for Arizona. The presence of a Gravel Pit and established canyon trails suggests the balance between resource management and conservation in this part of Coconino County during the late 1980s.
