About this map

Kaibab National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape, where deep drainages like Toothpick Canyon and Wildband Canyon carve through the plateau. Water management is the primary human footprint in this wilderness area, evidenced by a network of catchments and natural sources such as Pigeon Tank, Slide Tank, and Table Rock Spring. These water points serve as vital landmarks across the undulating terrain of Toothpick Ridge and Suicide Ridge.

A system of Bureau of Land Management roads, including BLM-164 and BLM-128, provides the only vehicular access through the township and range sections. The landscape transitions from the sharp drop-offs at Pigeon Point and Willow Point to the broader slopes of the East Side Apron. This 2014 survey documents the modern state of these public lands, tracing the intersection of named topographic features and the essential water infrastructure required for forest management and livestock.
