2021 Map of Timp Point

About this map

The northern reaches of the Grand Canyon National Park and the adjacent Kaibab National Forest define this landscape on the Kaibab Plateau. The geography is characterized by dramatic vertical relief, where high-elevation points like Timp Point, North Timp Point, and Locust Point overlook deep drainages such as Stina Canyon and Locust Canyon. Water sources are sparse and critical in this arid environment, marked by isolated springs and man-made tanks like Bee Spring and Burnt Corral Tank. The map reveals a specialized transportation network designed for recreation and forest management, featuring the extensive Rainbow Rim Trl along the canyon edge and the N-Timp Snowmobile Trl cutting across the timbered uplands. This 2021 study documents the intersection of protected wilderness and managed forest land, tracing the rim-rock topography that funnels into Tapeats Cr.
