1886 Map of Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1886

About this map

The Yellowstone River carves a dramatic path through this 1880s survey, anchoring a landscape of active geothermal and geological phenomena. The map documents the Grand Cañon in its early years of federal protection, noting precise measurements for the Lower Falls and Upper Falls. Settlement is sparse, represented primarily by the lone label for Yanceys in the north and the strategic Baronette Bridge crossing the river nearby.
