2021 Map of Cedar Mountain

About this map

Kaibab National Forest encompasses a landscape defined by volcanic mesas and historic transit corridors. The prominent Beale Wagon Road Trl cuts across the terrain, marking an early arterial route for pioneer and military travel through Northern Arizona. Water is the primary driver of development and livestock activity here, indicated by the numerous artificial and natural basins like Indian Tank, Little Boulin Tank, and Laws Natural Tank. These small catchments supported ranching and travel in a dry environment where Spring Valley Wash and other drainages provided only seasonal relief. High points such as Squaw Mtn, Cedar Mtn, and Buck Mtn offer significant topographical landmarks, while more obscure features like Horse Trap Canyon hint at the functional historical use of the land for cattle or wild horse management.
