About this map

Kaibab National Forest dominates this high-desert landscape in northern Arizona, characterized by isolated topographic features and critical water catchment points. The terrain is defined by distinct elevations such as the Double Knobs and the namesake Dog Knobs, which rise above the level expanse of Antelope Flat.

Water management is the primary human imprint visible here, with numerous livestock or wildlife watering holes known as tanks scattered throughout the forest. These include Suicide Tank, Double Knobs Tank, Rainbow Tank, and Tarantula Tank. The presence of Dog Knobs Lake and Johnny Tank further emphasizes the reliance on these constructed or natural basins in an otherwise arid environment. Access to these remote reaches is maintained by primitive corridors like Fire Rd 2738, facilitating forest management and travel between the different townships.
