1988 Map of De Motte Park

About this map

Kaibab National Forest dominates this high-plateau landscape, where the Grand Canyon National Game Preserve overlaps a terrain of deep canyons and seasonal tanks. The map documents a specialized network of forest management and early tourism infrastructure, centered around Kaibab Lodge near the eastern edge. Notable landmarks include the Dry Park Lookout BM 8708 and its Lookout Tower, essential for fire monitoring across the dense timber of De Motte Park. The topographic detail reveals a landscape defined by drainage and water management, from the complex of Lookout Lakes to numerous cattle tanks like North Blowdown Tank and V T Ridge No 2 Tank. In the south, The Blowdown indicates a specific area of forest disturbance, while the vast reaches of Pleasant Valley and Oquer Canyon illustrate the dramatic vertical relief of the Arizona Kaibab Plateau.
