About this map

Pitman Valley serves as a focal point in this high-altitude landscape, where the open expanses of Garland Prairie meet the wooded margins of the Kaibab National Forest and Coconino National Forest. The map documents a complex network of historic and modern routes, most notably the Overland Road Historic Trl, which traces an earlier era of westward travel across the plateau.

Water management is the defining human footprint here, visible through dozens of named livestock tanks and springs like Triangle Spring and Mineral Spring. The presence of NG Camp Navajo on the eastern edge and the varied topography of Sycamore Canyon to the southwest illustrate the area's dual role as both a managed forest and a strategic military landscape. Distinctive peaks such as Volunteer Mtn and Mooney Mtn provide prominent vertical relief against the surrounding flats.
