About this map

Tusayan Ruins and Museum stands as a focal point for ancient history on this late-twentieth-century survey, located just south of the Grand Canyon's South Rim. The map details the developed tourist infrastructure at Desert View, including the iconic Observation Tower, Water Tanks, and a Campground. The landscape transitions from the high-elevation forests of the Kaibab National Forest to the dramatic verticality of The Palisades of the Desert, which drop toward the Colorado River below.
