1988 Map of Cane

About this map

Cane Springs and a remote Corral mark the sparse human footprint in this high-desert landscape of Coconino County. The terrain is defined by dramatic vertical relief, where the Cane Ridge and Tater Ridge overlook deep incisions like Outlet Valley and Pleasant Valley. Significant portions of the land are managed for conservation and wildlife, including the Saddle Mountain Wilderness and the Grand Canyon National Game Preserve, which overlaps the Kaibab National Forest. Water management in this arid environment is evident through features like the Cane Aqueduct, South Rock Tank, and various wildlife water sources labeled as Guzzler. This survey reveals the complex network of 4WD tracks and physical landmarks, such as Seegmiller Point and Telephone Hill, that once guided ranchers and early forest rangers through these remote breaks north of the Grand Canyon.
