2014 Map of Piute Point

About this map

Piute Point stands as a prominent overlook in this high-desert landscape where the Grand Canyon National Park meets the Kaibab National Forest. The geography is defined by profound vertical relief, featuring dramatic monuments like Pollux Temple, Diana Temple, and Vesta Temple that rise above deeply incised drainages. The map traces the intricate contours of Turquoise Canyon, Sapphire Canyon, and Agate Canyon as they descend toward the Granite Gorge. Water management in this arid environment is evidenced by a network of catchments and tanks, such as Sevenmile Tank, Midway Number One Tank, and Ike Smith Tank. These features, along with historic routes like the Supai Village Old 328 Rd, reflect the intersection of traditional paths and modern federal land management within Coconino County.
