1988 Map of Bright Angel Point

About this map

North Rim serves as the focal point for human activity in this high-altitude section of Grand Canyon National Park during the late 1980s. The landscape is defined by the massive drainage systems of Bright Angel Creek and The Transept, featuring a complex network of named peaks and formations including Manu Temple, Buddha Temple, and Deva Temple. Researchers can trace the established infrastructure of the era, from the Ranger Sta and Campground at the rim to backcountry sites like Cottonwood Camp. The transition from the Walhalla Plateau down into the inner canyon is marked by dramatic water features such as Roaring Springs and the tiered cascades of Ribbon Falls, Upper Ribbon Falls, and Upper Upper Ribbon Falls. This survey documents the primitive transportation routes of the day, specifically the Pack Trail and Foot Trail systems that provided the only access through steep reaches like Haunted Canyon.
