About this map

The Colorado River carves a deep path through the northern reach of this 1988 landscape, where the turbulent white water of Gateway Rapids marks the descent through the canyon floor. This survey documents a critical intersection of western land management, showing the Park Boundary between Grand Canyon National Park and the extensive Hualapai Indian Reservation. The map captures the dramatic verticality of the terrain, defined by massive tributary systems like the winding Mohawk Canyon and the steep Stairway Canyon. The convergence of Mohave and Coconino counties occurs within this complex network of side canyons and high plateaus, illustrating the remote and inaccessible nature of the land before modern development touched these interior sections of the canyon system.
