About this map

Granite Gorge dominates this 1967 survey, where the Colorado River carves through deep canyon walls along the border of the Hualapai Indian Reservation. This map documents a series of major river features, including Two Hundred and Seventeenmile Rapids and Granite Spring Rapids, providing a precise record of the river's navigational hazards before modern shifts in river management.

The southeastern terrain is marked by Diamond Peak, which rises near the confluence of Diamond Creek and the river. The canyon system is highly detailed, showing Peach Springs Canyon and Two Hundred and Twentyfour Mile Canyon feeding into the main gorge. The boundary of the Lake Mead National Recreation Area runs through the center of the sheet, illustrating the intersection of federal recreation lands and tribal reservation territory.
