2014 Map of Jumpup Point

About this map

Jumpup Point overlooks a complex system of drainage and high desert plateaus where the Kaibab National Forest meets the northern boundary of Grand Canyon National Park. The landscape is defined by deep incisions like Jensen Canyon and Big Cove Canyon, showcasing the dramatic erosional patterns typical of the Arizona Strip. Water management in this arid environment is evident through a network of isolated tanks and springs, such as Jumpup Tank, Dinner Pockets Trick Tank, and Jumpup Spring, which provide critical resources for wildlife and range management. The topographic detail highlights prominent landforms like The Gooseneck, where Jumpup Canyon meanders sharply through the limestone layers. Significant elevation changes are marked by features like Sowats Point, providing a clear view of the transition between forested heights and the hollows below, including Indian Hollow and Kwagunt Hollow.
