2018 Map of Sowats Spring

About this map

Kaibab National Forest encompasses this high-altitude landscape on the Kaibab Plateau, where water management and topographical landmarks define the territory. The intricate drainage network of Sowats Canyon, Big Sowats Canyon, and Little Sowats Canyon dominates the southern half of the sheet, providing a clear picture of the erosive forces shaping the region. Historically significant water sources like Sowats Spring and Box Elder Spring are noted alongside man-made improvements such as White Pockets Tank and Bone Hollow Tank, illustrating the essential infrastructure for ranching or forestry in an arid environment. High points including Brow Monument and Sawmill Point offer orientation across the complex terrain, while designated crossings like Eagle Pass and Ranger Pass indicate established routes through the breaks.
