2021 Map of King Arthur Castle

About this map

Kaibab National Forest and Grand Canyon National Park converge in this high-plateau landscape, where the northern rim’s complex drainage patterns are carved into the limestone. The terrain is defined by massive formations such as the Shinumo Amphitheater and Elaine Castle, while the western edge is dominated by the sprawling Powell Plateau. This 2021 survey shows a wilderness largely accessed by traditional routes like the North Bass Trl and Powell Plateau Trl, which navigate between prominent overlooks like Fire Point and Dutton Point. Water sources are critical markers in this arid environment, with Powell Spring, Ikes Spring, and the seasonally variable Swamp Lake providing rare reliable points of interest for those studying the physical geography of the Coconino high country.
