2021 Map of Bright Angel Point

About this map

The North Rim serves as the focal point of this survey, where the Kaibab Plateau drops dramatically into the intricate drainages of Grand Canyon National Park. The landscape is defined by massive topographic features with classical names, such as the Buddha Temple, Brahma Temple, and Deva Temple, which rise from the deep recesses of Bright Angel Canyon. These formations reflect the late 19th-century naming traditions of early geologists who mapped the region.
