About this map

Grand Canyon tourism and infrastructure are emerging in this early 20th-century survey, highlighted by the terminus of the Grand Canyon Railway near the El Tovar Hotel. The map documents the intricate vertical landscape from the Kaibab Plateau down to the Colorado River, where the Suspension Bridge links north and south trails. Interpretive names reflect a turn-of-the-century fascination with antiquity, labeling monumental formations such as Shiva Temple, Isis Temple, and Cheops Pyramid.
