About this map

Kanab Creek Wilderness and the Grand Canyon National Game Preserve dominate this remote northern Arizona landscape, where the plateaus of the Kaibab National Forest drop into deep drainage systems. The map captures a high-desert environment defined by seasonal water sources and steep-walled canyons, including the dramatic turn of the Gooseneck and the descent into Kanab Canyon.

Remote outposts like Jensen and Jumpup reflect the sparse human presence in this area during the late 1980s. Vital water points for livestock and wildlife, such as Mountain Sheep Spring, Jumpup Tank, and Lower Cottonwood Spring, are carefully charted alongside 4WD tracks that provide the only access to the rim. This survey is a record of the complex boundary between national forest lands and the northern reaches of Grand Canyon National Park.
