1891 Map of Echo Cliffs

USGS Topo · Published 1896

About this map

Lee Ferry serves as the critical crossing point where the Colorado River meets Paria Canyon, marking a vital node in the nineteenth-century western frontier. This survey, conducted under the direction of J.W. Powell, illustrates a landscape defined by its immense geological barriers and sparse water sources. The Echo Cliffs and Vermilion Cliffs flank the river corridor, while the Navajo Indian Res. Line bisects the territory. Remote outposts and water dependencies such as Tuba City, Moencopie, and Moa Ave appear in the lower quadrant, connected by rudimentary trails to distant springs and tanks. The map captures the era of early scientific exploration and settlement, documenting named landmarks like Shinumo Altar and Jacobs Pools that were essential to travelers and surveyors navigating the high desert of the Arizona Territory.
