1988 Map of Desert View
USGS Topo · Published 1988About this map
The Palisades of the Desert form a striking geological boundary along the eastern edge of Grand Canyon National Park in this 1980s topographic study. The settlement at Desert View serves as a primary hub for visitors, featuring a prominent Observation Tower and several overlooks including Navajo Point and Lipan Point. The elevation drops dramatically from the rim down to the Colorado River, where the Tanner Rapids and Unkar Creek Rapids mark the turbulent passage through the canyon floor.
