2018 Map of Yunosi Point

About this map

Grand Canyon National Park dominates the northwestern corner of this Coconino County terrain, where the high desert plateau is carved into a complex system of drainage basins. The landscape is defined by its verticality, transitioning from the heights of Flatiron Butte and Yumtheska Point down into deeply incised corridors such as National Canyon and Beaver Canyon. These natural features dictate the movement of water and any potential travel through the region, forming a labyrinthine geography characteristic of the Arizona strip. Evidence of water management in this arid environment appears at Bishop Tank, a critical focal point for livestock or wildlife. The map also identifies prominent landmarks like Yunosi Point, which overlooks the descent into Yunosi Canyon and the neighboring Whiterock Canyon, illustrating the sheer scale of erosion that has shaped this part of the Colorado Plateau.
