About this map

Kaibab National Forest encompasses this high plateau landscape, where the high-altitude terrain of the Kaibab Plateau is carved by deep drainages like Moquitch Canyon and West Fork Warm Springs Canyon. The presence of numerous small catchments and named pools such as Mile-and-a-half Lake, Snipe Lake, and Franks Lake indicates the importance of water management for livestock or wildlife in this arid upland environment.

Modern recreational use is prominent, with the Arizona National Scenic Trl winding through the center of the sheet near Telephone Hill. The map also traces the N Timp Snowmobile Trl, illustrating the seasonal transition of this forest from summer hiking to winter snow sports. To the southeast, the terrain opens into the relatively level expanses of Pleasant Valley and Little Pleasant Valley, providing a stark contrast to the surrounding canyon systems like South Fork Castle Canyon.
