1906 Map of Bright Angel

About this map

Grand Canyon serves as the focal point of this early 20th-century topographic survey, illustrating the convergence of early tourism and pioneering geological study. The settlement at Grand Canyon is linked to the outside world by the Grand Canyon R. R. and the Santa Fe System, which terminate near the rim of the Coconino Plateau. From this hub, the landscape drops precipitously into the Granite Gorge where the Colorado River flows, surrounded by massive geological formations named for ancient deities and monuments, including Shiva Temple, Isis Temple, and Cheops Pyramid.
