Historical Photos, mostly from Forest Service archives.
A map of the Kaibab Plateau.
Hunters and mule deer on the Kaibab Plateau in the late 1920s.
Deer browsed the trees and brush as high as they could reach, forming a "tree line."
After a number of years of reducing the number of deer, the range began to recover and the tree line got lower.

I am developing a more complete site on the history of the Kaibab deer at http://www.uwm.edu/~young/kaibab.html.
