1988 Map of Jacob Lake

About this map

Jacob Lake serves as the central hub of this late-1980s landscape, situated at the junction of Highway 89 and Highway 67. The surrounding area is defined by its placement within the Kaibab National Forest and the Grand Canyon National Game Preserve. A Ranger Station and Jacob Reservoir indicate the administrative and practical management of this high-elevation plateau. The terrain is marked by a complex series of drainages, including Le Fevre Canyon and Orderville Canyon, which flank the prominent Cooper Ridge. The presence of several distinct depressions and water catchments, such as Billy Sink, Jolly Sink, and Buffalo Hill Tank, illustrates the natural and man-made water management systems necessary in this arid environment. Further south, the map reveals the convergence of the West Fork and East Fork near Fracas Lake.
