About this map

The high plateau of the Kaibab National Forest dominates this landscape, characterized by isolated peaks like Howard Mesa and Cedar Mtn. The small settlement of Parks serves as a primary point of reference in an area defined by its historical transit corridors and water management. Modern trails and legacy routes intersect throughout the territory, most notably the historic Beale Wagon Road Trl, which follows a path across the southern half of the sheet.

Ephemeral water sources, labeled as tanks, are critical landmarks in this arid environment, including Geronimo Tank, Laws Natural Tank, and Sowell Tank. These features, alongside drainage systems like Spring Valley Wash, illustrate the essential infrastructure required for ranching and travel in Coconino County. The topography is varied by prominent heights such as Buck Mtn and the Spring Valley Coxcombs, while the Great Western Trl provides a modern recreational layer over the old wagon roads and forest service routes like Old "84" Rd.
