1962 Map of Bright Angel

About this map

Grand Canyon village and the surrounding Kaibab National Forest are shown here as they appeared in the early 1960s, documenting the early tourism infrastructure of the South Rim. This survey captures the specialized transit and service network of the canyon floor, including the Phantom Ranch outpost and the Bright Angel Trail winding toward the Colorado River. Cultural landmarks like the Lookout Studio and Yavapai Museum are established, reflecting the era's focus on visitor education and canyon vistas.
