About this map

The Colorado River snakes through the Lower Granite Gorge in this northern Arizona landscape, where the borders of Grand Canyon National Park and the Lake Mead National Recreation Area meet. The river's path is defined by a series of named whitewater features, including Two Hundred and Seventeen Mile Rapids, Roadrunner Rapids, and Granite Spring Rapids. Towering above the river corridor, Diamond Peak stands as a prominent landmark at the convergence of several deep drainages.

Evidence of the region's complex geology and drainage systems is visible in the numerous side canyons such as Trail Canyon, Two Hundred and Twentyfour Mile Canyon, and Peach Springs Canyon. This map also captures the administrative transition between Mohave and Coconino counties, which follows the rugged terrain. The topographical detail reveals the sharp elevation changes between the river's edge and the high plateaus, punctuated by Peach Springs Wash and the turbulent Diamond Creek Rapids.
