About this map

Kaibab National Forest and the Grand Canyon National Park converge on this North Rim plateau, a landscape defined by dramatic geological transitions and scattered water resources. Mapping from the late 1980s reveals a network of vital tanks and springs, such as Burnt Corral Tank and Parissawampitts Spring, which have long served as essential focal points for travel and land management in this arid environment.

The presence of Indian Road 6 and the Grand Canyon National Game Preserve underscores the area's significance for regional transit and wildlife protection. Distinctive landmarks like Hole-in-the-Rock and Timp Point offer specific navigational markers on the high rim, while the descent into deep drainages like Burnt Corral Canyon and Stina Canyon illustrates the complex erosion patterns characteristic of the Coconino plateau. This edition provides a clear record of forest service infrastructure and remote geography before modern shifts in park management.
