2014 Map of House Rock Spring

About this map

House Rock Spring and a series of vital water improvements define this arid landscape within the Kaibab National Forest. The map illustrates a complex network of ranching and survival infrastructure, including the Vermillion Trick Tank, North Burro Trick Tank, and Two Mile Reservoir, all situated to capture seasonal runoff. The topography is dominated by the massive rise of the Paria Plateau and the sheer edge of the Vermilion Cliffs, which drop precipitously into House Rock Valley. These geological features shaped travel and grazing patterns for generations, with House Rock Rd serving as a primary corridor through the valley. Natural landmarks like Vermillion Arch and named springs such as Onemile Spring and Four Springs provide essential points of reference in a terrain marked by deep erosional features like Fence Canyon and Trail Canyon.
