1906 Map of Bright Angel
USGS Topo · Published 1920About this map
Grand Canyon National Park reveals its labyrinthine geology and early tourism infrastructure in this 1906 survey, later updated to reflect the transition from forest reserve to national park status. The Colorado River carves through the Granite Gorge, flanked by massive formations like Shiva Temple and Osiris Temple. Early access points for travelers are clearly marked, including the Santa Fe System railroad terminus at the settlement of Grand Canyon, which served the iconic El Tovar Hotel.
