2011 Map of Sunshine Ridge

About this map

Sunshine Ridge anchors this portion of the Arizona Strip, a remote landscape defined by its seasonal watercourses and high-desert terrain near the northern boundary of Grand Canyon National Park. The land's cattle-ranching utility is evident through a series of human-made water catchments, including Jackson Reservoir, Tom Lamb Reservoir, and the CCC Trail Reservoir. These features, along with Caanan Reservoir and Wild Band Reservoir, highlight the critical importance of water management in Wild Band Valley. Drainage is naturally facilitated by Bulrush Wash and Yellowstone Wash, which cut through the arid flats. Transportation is centered on the historic Mount Trumbull Rd, providing one of the few established routes across this high plateau. The topography is further marked by prominent elevations such as Cedar Knoll, which serves as a landmark in the northern section of the map.
