About this map

De Motte Park and its surrounding high-elevation meadows define this area of Coconino County, characterized by a complex network of seasonal water catchments known as tanks. This 2012 survey illustrates a landscape of managed forest and open parks, where drainage and water access are central to the terrain's utility, marked by features such as North Blow Down Tank, Blow Down Tank, and the extensive area labeled The Blowdown. These names suggest a history of significant weather events impacting the timber of the Kaibab Plateau.

Human activity is concentrated along the eastern corridor near Kaibab Lodge and the DeMotte Campground, which serve as gateways to the high country. Infrastructure for resource management and fire prevention is evident at the Dry Park Lookout and the remote VT Park Landing Strip. The map also traces a labyrinth of Forest Service roads, including FS RD 641 and FS RD 462, which navigate the ridgelines and lake groups like Lookout Lakes and Dry Park Lakes.
