1988 Map of National Canyon SW

About this map

Hualapai Indian Reservation lands dominate this high-desert plateau, where the landscape is defined by the dramatic descent into National Canyon and Mohawk Canyon. This 1988 provisional edition captures a region where survival is tied to the management of scarce water resources, as evidenced by features like the Catchment Water Tank and a lone Corral. The intricate contour lines reveal the complex drainage systems of the Sandstone Wash, illustrating the rugged erosional patterns that characterize the Coconino County backcountry. The map serves as a detailed record of the township and range boundaries, including Townships 31 and 32 North, providing a precise look at the geographical layout of this remote tribal territory during the late 20th century.
