1891 Map of Echo Cliffs

USGS Topo · Published 1937

About this map

Lees Ferry serves as the critical crossing point where the Colorado River separates the Paria Plateau from the vast lands of the Navajo Indian Reservation. This reconnaissance-style survey, conducted by A.P. Davis and the Powell Surveys, details a landscape defined by water scarcity and dramatic verticality. Beyond the river corridor, the map highlights essential water sources such as Navajo Spring, Bitter Spring, and Whitmore's Pools, which supported travel and small settlements in the high desert. To the south, the village of Tuba and the nearby Moencopie represent the primary centers of human activity along the Moenkopi Wash. Distinctive landmarks like the Shinumo Altar and the towering Echo Cliffs provide navigational anchors across the open terrain, while the descent into the Little Colorado River canyon marks the southern boundary of this high-plateau geography.
