About this map

Grand Canyon National Park occupies the southern portion of this high-desert landscape, where the terrain drops sharply into Tuckup Canyon. This northern Arizona survey illustrates the transition between the vast Kanab Plateau and the rugged drainage systems that feed into the Colorado River basin. The geography is characterized by isolated water sources essential for survival in this arid environment, such as School Section Tank and White Tank.

Evidence of early transit and land use appears through routes like Schmutz and the K-10 Road, which navigate the elevation changes around Hancock Knolls. These names, along with the Brady Hollow Trl, reflect a history of ranching and resource management on the public lands surrounding Hancock Knoll. The map serves as a detailed record of the physical landmarks and named features that defined the Mohave County backcountry in the early twenty-first century.
