1989 Map of Lockwood Canyon

About this map

Kaibab National Forest dominates this section of the Coconino plateau, where the landscape is defined by the deep incisions of Lockwood Canyon and Rabbit Canyon. The terrain reflects a high-desert environment dependent on carefully managed water resources, as evidenced by the high density of named stock tanks and catchment basins. These essential water sources, including the uniquely named Pearl Harbor Tank, Dent and Sayer Tank, and Hidden Tank, are scattered across the township grid to support grazing and wildlife. Modern utility infrastructure is also visible, with Pipeline and Trans Lines cutting through the southeastern corner near the prominent volcanic landmark of Mesa Butte. The arrangement of these features indicates a territory primarily utilized for resource extraction, transit, and forest management rather than dense settlement.
