About this map

The high desert landscape of the Arizona Strip is defined here by the towering Vermilion Cliffs and the deep incisions of the Kaibab Plateau. The northern boundary of the Grand Canyon National Park meets the Grand Canyon National Game Preserve, showcasing a remote region where water sources like Jacob Lake and scattered stock wells including Brinkerhoff Well and Gudger Well were vital to survival and land use.

Settlement patterns are concentrated along the base of the Moccasin Mountains at Moccasin and near the Utah border at Fredonia and Colorado City. Cultural history is anchored by the Kaibab Indian Reservation and the Pipe Spring National Monument, preserving key early outposts. Industrial activity is sparse but notable at the Heck Canyon Mine, while the vast drainage systems of Kanab Creek and Bulrush Wash illustrate the complex natural topography that challenged early travelers in Coconino and Mohave Counties.
