About this map

Moqui Stage Station (Site) sits at the heart of this high-plateau survey, marking a historical waypoint on the vast Kaibab Plateau. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the Coconino National Forest to the dramatic northern edge of the Grand Canyon National Park. Along the South Rim, notable topographic landmarks such as Grandview Point and the towering Sinking Ship formation provide clear orientation for the area's geography.

Water management is a central theme of the 1960s terrain, with numerous man-made features like Waggoner Tank, Bentonite Tank, and Trash Dam scattered across the Upper Basin. The network of unimproved roads and jeep trails connects remote points like Peterson Flat and the Grandview Lookout Tower, reflecting an era of forest management and early tourism before more modern infrastructure arrived. To the east, the descent into Lee Canyon highlights the area's complex drainage systems, including Skinner Wash and Tappan Wash.
