2014 Map of Diamond Peak

About this map

The Colorado River snakes through the Lower Granite Gorge in this northern Arizona landscape, where the high-altitude topography of the Colorado Plateau meets the river's erosive power. This particular section of the canyon is defined by the boundary between Grand Canyon National Park and the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, capturing a wild stretch of water known for its challenging whitewater. Significant navigational landmarks for river travelers include the Two Hundred and Seventeen Mile Rapids and Roadrunner Rapids. On the southern bank, the prominent Diamond Peak rises above the junction where Diamond Cr and Peach Springs Canyon enter the main gorge. The map also delineates the county line between Mohave and Coconino counties, which follows the winding path of the riverbed through Diamond Canyon.
