About this map

Sunshine Point and Bulrush Point anchor the high plateaus of this 1988 provisional survey, marking the transition into the deep drainages of the Kaibab National Forest. The landscape is defined by the labyrinthine descent of Grama Canyon, Hack Canyon, and Chamberlain Canyon, which converge toward the larger canyon systems. Rare water sources like Grama Spring and Willow Spring provide crucial landmarks in an otherwise arid and broken terrain.

Evidence of the administrative landscape is visible through the Wilderness Boundary and the division between the Kaibab National Forest and the Grand Canyon National Game Preserve. The map also captures the political boundary between Mohave and Coconino counties. This survey reflects the late-20th-century emphasis on conservation and land management in the Arizona strip, showing only limited 4wd tracks penetrating the back country.
