About this map

The Kaibab National Forest dominates this section of the Kaibab Plateau in Coconino County, where the high terrain drops sharply into the expansive House Rock Valley. This landscape is defined by its complex drainage systems, including House Rock Canyon and House Rock Wash, which channel seasonal water through the high desert. Settlement is sparse, represented primarily by isolated water features crucial for ranching and transit, such as Murray Tank, Red Point Tank, and Findley Tank.

Modern transit corridors like Alt 89 and House Rock Rd follow the natural contours of the land, providing access through the canyons. The presence of the Great Western Trl indicates the area's significance for long-distance navigation across the plateau. Topographical landmarks including Little Mountain, Big Ridge, and Seegmiller Point provide essential orientation points for those traversing the varied elevations between the plateau and the valley floor.
