About this map

Kaibab Plateau high country defines this 2023 survey of the northern Arizona forest, centered on the broad meadow of De Motte Park. The landscape is a network of deep drainages and limestone depressions, including Parissawampitts Canyon and Quaking Aspen Canyon. This modern data illustrates how water management is critical for the local ecology and ranching history, with numerous tanks and small catchments such as North Blow Down Tank and V T Ridge Number Two Tank scattered across the plateau.

Transport through the timber is represented by routes like the N Timp Snowmobile Trl, which winds through the rugged terrain toward North Timp Canyon. Small bodies of water like Cougar Lake, Deer Lake, and the cluster at Lookout Lakes provide focal points in an otherwise arid woodland, while the Dry Park Apron shows the unique geological transition between the parklands and the surrounding forest.
