1891 Map of Echo Cliffs

USGS Topo · Published 1905

About this map

Lee Ferry serves as a critical point of crossing in this late nineteenth-century reconnaissance of Northern Arizona, situated where Paria Canyon meets the Colorado River. The landscape is defined by massive geological formations, including the towering Vermilion Cliffs and the serpentine path of Marble Canyon. Settlement patterns are sparse, anchored by Tuba City and the nearby Moencopie village in the south, while the northern reaches are marked by essential water sources such as Navajo Spring, Bitter Spring, and Jacobs Pools. The map illustrates the early delineation of the Navajo Indian Res. Line and the sheer verticality of the Echo Cliffs. Distinctive landmarks like Shinumo Altar and Echo Peaks provide navigational anchors in a territory where movement was dictated by the reliable presence of water at locations like Cottonwood Tank and Willow Springs.
