About this map

The Kaibab Indian Reservation dominates this mid-century landscape where the Kaibab Mountains meet the towering Vermilion Cliffs. The small settlement of Moccasin sits at the base of the cliffs, serving as a primary point of human activity in an area otherwise defined by extreme topographic relief and deep drainage systems like Parashont Canyon and Woodberry Canyon. Water management is the primary evidence of land use here, shown through various improvements such as Bee Cistern, Semen Cistern, and several family-named water sources like Woolley Spring and Burnt Corral Spring. A network of unimproved roads and a Jeep Trail trace the high ground, connecting remote landmarks like Ratashont Point and Lone Butte across the Arizona-Utah border.
