About this map

White Horse Lake and the adjacent White Horse Recreation Site serve as central landmarks in this high-elevation landscape within the Kaibab National Forest. The 1989 topography reveals a terrain defined by complex drainage systems and isolated peaks, including White Horse Knoll and Ruin Mountain. A notable concentration of water resources is evident, from natural features like Holloway Spring and Hitt Spring to numerous man-made tanks such as Perkins Tank and JD Dam Lake.

The southern portion of the map transitions into the Sycamore Canyon Wilderness, where deep cuts like Tule Canyon and Jacks Canyon drop away from the surrounding flats. This area is characterized by secluded pockets like Deadman Pocket and Limestone Pocket, suggesting a landscape shaped by both geologic erosion and historical land use. Evidence of local industry is sparse but present, marked by a Cinder Pit and a Gravel Pit near Hill One.
