About this map

Kaibab National Forest dominates the western edge of this Coconino County landscape, where the high elevations of the Kaibab Plateau give way to the dramatic drop of the Vermillion Cliffs. This transition zone is defined by a series of critical water sources, including the namesake House Rock Spring, Onemile Spring, and Four Springs. These seeps were historically vital for those navigating the dry corridor of House Rock Valley between the forested plateaus and the high desert of the Paria Plateau.

The terrain is deeply incised by drainages such as House Rock Wash and Coyote Wash, which cut through the Sand Hills. Human presence is marked by sparse infrastructure, primarily House Rock Rd and Pine Tree Rd, alongside the historic Navajo Trl. The map also captures several natural landmarks, most notably the Vermillion Arch and the broad expanse of Coyote Valley, illustrating the intersection of resource management and topographical extremes.
