1891 Map of Echo Cliffs

About this map

Lees Ferry serves as the critical crossing point on this late 19th-century reconnaissance of the high desert, marking the transition between the Glen Canyon and Marble Gorge sections of the Colorado River. The landscape is dominated by the massive verticality of the Echo Cliffs and the Vermilion Cliffs, which channel travel toward reliable water sources like Navajo Spring and Bitter Spring. In the southeast, the settlements of Tuba and Moencopie sit near the Moenkopi Wash, providing a glimpse into the established habitation patterns within the Navajo Indian Reservation during this era of early geological exploration.
