1962 Map of Bright Angel

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The Colorado River carves a path through the heart of this survey, defining a landscape of immense vertical relief punctuated by named temples, towers, and buttes. On the south rim, the settlement of Grand Canyon serves as a primary hub, featuring the El Tovar Hotel, the Grand Canyon Visitor Center, and the terminus of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railway. This rail connection historically facilitated the early tourism and logistical expansion of the park.
