1962 Map of Bright Angel

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Grand Canyon village and the adjacent El Tovar Hotel serve as the focal point for tourism and infrastructure at the south rim during the early 1960s. The map illustrates the specialized transport network of the era, from the terminus of the Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe railroad to the intricate footpaths of the Bright Angel Trail and Kaibab Trail. This network connects the Coconino Plateau with the Kaibab Plateau to the north, spanning the Colorado River via a suspension bridge.
