1957 Map of Jumpup Canyon

About this map

Kaibab National Forest dominates the eastern half of this landscape, where the plateaus drop sharply into the complex drainage systems of the Kanab Creek basin. The area is defined by its verticality and reliance on scarce water sources, evidenced by the numerous isolated springs such as Pigeon Spring and Wildband Spring tucked into canyon alcoves. A significant cultural marker is noted near the canyon rim with the presence of Petroglyphs overlooking the Willow Point area, suggesting a long history of human movement through these corridors.
