1906 Map of Bright Angel

USGS Topo · Published 1932

About this map

The Colorado River carves a deep path through the heart of this 1906 survey, defining the complex landscape of the Grand Canyon National Park. At the south rim, the early infrastructure of tourism and transportation is clearly visible, centered around the Grand Canyon settlement and the El Tovar Hotel. The arrival of the Grand Canyon RR and the establishment of the Powell Memorial signal the area's transition into a major destination during the early twentieth century.
