1891 Map of Echo Cliffs

About this map

Lee Ferry serves as a critical junction at the confluence of the Colorado River and Paria Canyon, marking one of the few viable crossing points in this vertical landscape. This 1891 survey captures the Northern Arizona corridor during a period of transition, documenting early Mormon settlements like Tuba City and Moencopie alongside the deep incisions of Marble Canyon. The terrain is dominated by the massive north-south sweep of the Echo Cliffs and Cedar Ridge, which dictate travel patterns toward vital water sources such as Navajo Spring and Bitter Spring. Mapping of the Navajo Indian Res. Line and the Keam District reflects the early administrative divisions of Yavapai territory. Remote outposts and family-named watering holes like McClellan Tanks and Whitmore's Pools highlight the precarious nature of western expansion in a region defined by dramatic elevation changes from the Paria Plateau down to the Little Colorado River.
