Havasu Canyon Watershed is within the Coconino Plateau region of Arizona. Geology at the land surface is dominated by the Kaibab Limestone Formation. The Kaibab Formation is found across northern Arizona, southern Utah, east central Nevada, and southeast California (Figure 2-2). Part of the Colorado Plateau, this formation was laid down in the Early Permian around 250 million years ago (Chronic, 1983), and in the Havasu Canyon Watershed it forms the Coconino Plateau.
