The Orderville Canyon Sawmill dates back to the late 1800s and early 1900s, when logging was a key industry on the Kaibab Plateau. The mill was used to harvest and process ponderosa pine for nearby settlements, including the town of Orderville. Timber from this area supported early construction, fencing, and fuel needs in the region. Today, the site serves as a historic reminder of the plateau’s logging era, with signage that highlights how important these operations were to local development before the area became protected forest land.
