2021 Map of Tusayan East

About this map

Kaibab National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape south of the South Rim, serving as a critical gateway to the canyon. The settlement of Tusayan stands as a focal point for infrastructure and tourism, surrounded by a complex network of recreational paths including the Arizona National Scenic Trl, the Tusayan Mtn Bike Loop Trl, and the Ten-X Nature Trl. The map illustrates a reliance on earthen water catchments across the plateau, with numerous named tanks such as Reed Tank, Indian Tank, and McRae Tank scattered through the forest. To the northeast, the terrain rises toward Skinner Ridge and the southern boundary of Grand Canyon National Park, where Desert View Drive begins its eastward traverse. This contemporary survey details the intersection of federal forest management, national park access, and localized water management in the arid Arizona uplands.
