1988 Map of Jacob Lake

About this map

Jacob Lake serves as the focal point for this high-plateau landscape, where the Kaibab National Forest and the Grand Canyon National Game Preserve converge. The topography is defined by significant elevations along Cooper Ridge and Big Ridge, dissected by deep drainage systems like Le Fevre Canyon and Orderville Canyon. Water management is central to the area's utility, evidenced by numerous named tanks and sinks such as Billy Sink, Jolly Sink, and Big Ridge Tank. These features, along with a Gravel Pit and a Ranger Station, illustrate the human infrastructure required to support forest management and seasonal travel through this complex terrain. The map also traces the headwaters of the West Fork and East Fork, providing a detailed view of the watershed just north of the Grand Canyon's rim.
