About this map

The high plateau of northern Arizona is charted here in the Kaibab National Forest, where the landscape is defined by volcanic features and essential water management. Distinctive cinder cones rise above the plains, most notably Dog Knobs and Double Knobs, which provide vertical relief across the otherwise level expanse of Antelope Flat. These geologic features serve as natural landmarks for backcountry navigation in a region where water sources are primarily man-made and carefully distributed.

The distribution of small reservoirs, including Suicide Tank, Double Knobs Tank, and Tarantula Tank, reflects the vital infrastructure required for ranching and wildlife in this arid environment. The map also traces the northern section of the Great Western Trl, illustrating the network of forest roads like Fire Rd 2738 that cut through the timber. Together, these elements show a modern landscape managed for both recreation and resource preservation.
