About this map

De Motte Park and the high plateaus of northern Arizona define this late-twentieth-century landscape, where the administrative boundaries of Kaibab National Forest and Grand Canyon National Park converge. The area serves as a critical transition zone between the managed forest lands of the Grand Canyon National Game Preserve and the protected wilderness of the Saddle Mountain Wilderness. A lookout tower stands watch over the timber, while the North Rim Entrance Station marks the transition into the national park.

Water sources are vital markers in this high-altitude terrain, including named points like Robbers Roost Spring, Sourdough Well, and the seasonal Little Park Lake. The topography is deeply incised by drainages such as Bright Angel Creek and Thompson Canyon, while named features like Lindbergh Hill and Hades Lake provide specific landmarks for those tracing the history of resource management and early recreation in the North Rim backcountry.
