About this map

Toothpick Ridge and the winding course of Snake Creek dominate this high-plateau landscape within the Kaibab National Forest in the late 1980s. The geography is defined by a series of deep drainages including Toothpick Gulch, Snake Gulch, and Wildband Canyon that cut through the terrain toward the Kanab Creek Wilderness.

Resource management and wildlife conservation are central to the area's identity, as shown by the overlap of the Grand Canyon National Game Preserve and the Kaibab National Forest Game Preserve. For those tracking the history of land use, the map identifies essential water sources such as Table Rock Spring and various livestock or wildlife catchments like Table Rock Tank, Slide Tank, and East Slide Tank, which reflect the fundamental challenges of water access in this arid Coconino County environment.
