2014 Map of Fossil Bay

About this map

Grand Canyon National Park terrain dominates this 2014 survey, illustrating the complex vertical geography of the south rim and the inner canyon floor. The Colorado River carves through the southeast corner of the map, creating the Middle Granite Gorge and the turbulent Fossil Rapids. The landscape is defined by massive plateau features and stepped landforms, including the prominent Great Thumb Mesa and expansive benches like Gatagama Terrace and Alarcon Terrace. Deep incisions into the canyon walls are marked by Specter Chasm, Olo Canyon, and the winding Matkatamiba Canyon. Strategic overlooks and high points such as Enfilade Point, Stanton Point, and Tahuta Point provide topographical reference for this uninhabited wilderness area. The survey clearly delineates the park boundaries and the township grid, specifically highlighting the intersection of sections within T34N and T33N.
