2011 Map of Diamond Peak

About this map

Colorado River navigation and canyon topography define this 2011 survey of the Arizona wilderness. The map documents the specific locations of river hazards essential for navigation, such as Roadrunner Rapids and Granite Spring Rapids. These features are named based on their distance along the river corridor, including the Two Hundred and Seventeenmile Rapids and the corresponding Two Hundred and Seventeenmile Canyon. The drainage patterns show how Diamond Creek and Peach Springs Wash feed into the river system, carving out the massive Diamond Canyon. Rising above the river's edge, Diamond Peak serves as the primary landmark for this stretch of the canyon, surrounded by a network of side canyons like Trail Canyon and Granite Spring Canyon.
