About this map

Jacob Lake serves as a central hub within the Kaibab National Forest, situated on the high Kaibab Plateau. This 2018 survey details a landscape defined by its network of modern and historic paths, including the Arizona National Scenic Trail and the Great Western Trail. The topography is marked by significant drainages such as Le Fevre Canyon and Orderville Canyon, which cut through the limestone terrain.

Water management in this arid high-country environment is evidenced by numerous named tanks and sinks, such as Jack Tank, Billy Sink, and Jolly Sink. These features, along with the Kai-Vav-Wi Nature Trail near Cooper Ridge, reflect the region's dual identity as a managed forest resource and a destination for back-country exploration. The map also captures the West and East Fork Warm Springs Canyon, illustrating the complex watershed system of northern Arizona.
