About this map

Kanab Creek Wilderness defines the dramatic landscape of this 1988 provisional survey, where deep drainage systems like Jumpup Canyon and Jensen Canyon cut through the high plateau. The terrain is marked by essential water sources for the region's cattle and game, including Jumpup Spring, Mountain Sheep Spring, and Bitter Spring. These springs and artificial catchments like Jumpup Tank and Big Cove Tank represent the critical infrastructure of the high desert before modern development.

The map reveals the intersection of several managed lands, showing the transition from the Kaibab National Forest into the Grand Canyon National Game Preserve and the northern reaches of Grand Canyon National Park. Distinctive geological features such as The Gooseneck and Sowats Point provide clear reference points for those studying the complex topography of the Arizona strip during the late twentieth century.
