About this map

North Rim Lookout Tower stands as a primary landmark in this section of the Kaibab Plateau, overlooking a landscape defined by seasonal water sources and distinct highland parks. The topography is marked by a series of open meadows including Upper Little Park and Lower Little Park, which are connected by a network of specialized access routes like Kanabowits Lookout Tower Rd and the National Park Service Rd. The presence of numerous named springs, such as Robbers Roost Spring, South Canyon Spring, and Basin Spring, suggests a delicate hydrological balance critical for the area's management.

Notable elevation changes occur at Lindbergh Hill and near the geological formation known as Cocks Combs. While much of the terrain is defined by dry drainages like Crystal Cr and Bright Angel Cr, the map identifies rare catchments such as Little Park Lake, Hades Lake, and livestock or wildlife tanks including Burn Tank and Spare Tank. Remote tracks like NFS Point Sublime Trl provide access to The Basin, illustrating the primitive road network used for forest and park administration in the early 21st century.
