About this map

Telephone Hill stands as a central landmark within the Kaibab National Forest and the Grand Canyon National Game Preserve, overseeing a high-altitude plateau in northern Arizona. This 1980s landscape is defined by its complex network of seasonal water sources and deep drainage systems, including Warm Springs Canyon and Moquitch Canyon.

Small ponds and named catchments like Joes Mud Hole, Snipe Lake, and Crane Lake reveal the importance of water management in this managed timber and game territory. To the south, the terrain descends toward Pleasant Valley and Little Pleasant Valley, where the open topography of Little Round Valley contrasts with the steep incisions of Cane Canyon and Oquer Canyon. The presence of Oquer Spring and various tanks suggests the area's continued use for livestock or wildlife support during the late twentieth century.
