About this map

The Grand Canyon R.R. terminates at the south rim in this detailed survey, marking the early twentieth-century arrival of formal tourism to the area. Centered on the El Tovar Hotel, the map traces the intricate descent into the Granite Gorge via the Bright Angel Trail and Boucher Trail. This era of the park's history is characterized by established camps like Hermit Camp and Cottonwood Camp, alongside the newly constructed Suspension Bridge crossing the Colorado River near Phantom Ranch.
