About this map

Jacob Lake serves as a critical junction for travelers and forest management within the high-elevation terrain of the Kaibab National Forest. This 2021 survey details the complex network of backcountry routes, including the Arizona National Scenic Trl and the Great Western Trl, which traverse the Kaibab Plateau. The landscape is defined by deep drainage systems such as Orderville Canyon and Warm Springs Canyon, interspersed with essential water resources like Jacob Reservoir and Buffalo Hill Tank.

Geological features such as Billy Sink and Jolly Sink reflect the unique karst topography of the region. The presence of specialized recreational infrastructure, such as the N Timp Snowmobile Trl, highlights the modern usage of the forest for seasonal transit. Researchers will find a high degree of detail regarding the named tanks and ridges, including Cooper Ridge and Big Ridge, which have historically supported local ranching and transit through these high woods.
