1988 Map of Gunsight Point

About this map

Kaibab National Forest and the Grand Canyon National Game Preserve dominate this high-desert plateau landscape, where deep canyons and prominent points define the topography. The massive drainage of Kanab Creek carves through the terrain, joined by lateral features like Snake Gulch and Little Spring Canyon. This 1980s provisional map details a wilderness managed for both natural preservation and specific resource extraction, evidenced by the presence of the Pigeon Mine near the head of Pigeon Canyon. Water sources are critical landmarks in this arid environment, recorded here as isolated seeps and improvements such as Rock Spring, Slide Spring, and Gunsight Tank. The map tracks the boundary between Mohave and Coconino counties as it traverses high ridges including Gunsight Point and Pigeon Point.
