1962 Map of Bright Angel

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Colorado River rapids and the labyrinthine drainage system of the Kaibab National Forest define this 1960s-era topographic survey. Centered on the inner gorge, the map details the infrastructure that supported mid-century tourism and backcountry travel, from the Visitor Center and El Tovar Hotel at Grand Canyon to the isolated Phantom Ranch on the river floor. The intricate network of footpaths, including the Bright Angel Trail, South Kaibab Trail, and Tonto Trail, connects the rim-based facilities with remote water sources like Roaring Springs and Ribbon Falls.
