About this map

Grand Canyon National Park and the adjacent Kaibab National Forest dominate this 2014 survey, capturing the complex network of South Rim infrastructure and the geological features of the inner canyon. The developed settlement of Grand Canyon is detailed with its localized road system, including Village Loop and Hualapai Rd, showing the density of facilities near the rim. Below the plateau, the map traces the challenging descent to Indian Garden and the Colorado River, where river features like Granite Rapids and Horn Creek Rapids within the Granite Gorge are noted.

Water sources are vital landmarks in this arid environment, represented by isolated points like Santa Maria Spring and Dripping Spring, alongside man-made improvements such as Horsethief Tank and Rowes Tank. The map also illustrates the early 21st-century trail and road corridors, such as the Arizona National Scenic Trail and Hermit Rd, which provide access to dramatic promontories like Pima Point and Hopi Point.
