About this map

Kaibab National Forest and Prescott National Forest meet in this landscape defined by high mesas and seasonal water basins. The rugged geography of the Coconino and Yavapai county line is marked by distinctive formations like the Matterhorn and Wild Steer Mesa. This area relies on a network of stock tanks such as Tule Tank and Winter Camp Tank to manage the arid environment of Tule Basin and Hell Canyon.

Transportation through the drainage systems of Grindstone Wash and Rattlesnake Wash reflects the transition from historical routes like Old "4" Rd. to modern recreation on the Stage Station Mtn. Bike Trl. From the heights of S P Hill to the level expanse of Wagon Tire Flat, the map documents a territory where the Forest Service maintains vital water resources and primitive trails for range management and backcountry access.
