1906 Map of Bright Angel

USGS Topo · Published 1947

About this map

Colorado River flows through the depths of Granite Gorge, a central feature of this 1902–1903 survey by Francois E. Matthes. The map details early tourism and infrastructure on the South Rim at Grand Canyon, where the Grand Canyon RR terminates near the El Tovar Hotel. A network of early trails, including the Bright Angel Trail and Hermit Trail, descends the canyon walls toward riverside camps and crossings like the Suspension Bridge.
