About this map

Kaibab National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape on the North Rim of the Grand Canyon, where the plateau breaks into a complex system of drainages and named promontories. The topography is defined by significant landmarks such as Timp Point and North Timp Point overlooking the sheer drops of Timp Canyon. Water sources, critical in this arid environment, are marked by numerous springs and man-made catchments including Parissawampitts Spring, Quaking Aspen Spring, and the Burnt Corral Tank.

This 2014 survey illustrates the transition from the forested heights of Dry Park down through dramatic geological features like Crazy Jug Canyon and Hole-in-the-Rock Canyon. The boundary between the national forest and Grand Canyon National Park is clearly delineated along the southwest, providing a detailed record of the physical geography used by hikers and land managers along the canyon's edge, including the course of Tapeats Cr.
