About this map

Kaibab National Forest and the Grand Canyon National Game Preserve converge in this 1980s landscape of high-altitude parks and deep drainage systems. The map captures a specialized infrastructure for resource management and wildlife preservation, featuring numerous water tanks like the North Blowdown Tank and V T Ridge No 2 Tank that dot the terrain. Central to the human footprint is the Kaibab Lodge and nearby Campground, serving as a hub for visitors near the expansive meadows of De Motte Park.

The geography is defined by prominent canyons including South Fork Castle Canyon and Parissawampitts Canyon, which slice through the plateau. Local landmarks like the Dry Park Lookout and its Lookout Tower underscore the region's history of fire surveillance. Notable water features, though often seasonal or small, such as V T Lake and Lookout Lakes, provide critical points of interest in this forested expanse.
