1953 Map of Grand Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Grand Canyon and its surrounding plateaus are documented here during a period of mid-century revision, reflecting the complex topography between the Colorado River and the high desert rim. The map reveals a landscape defined by dramatic geological breaks, including the Shinarump Cliffs and Vermilion Cliffs, alongside the early infrastructure of the Pipe Spring National Monument. Remote settlements such as Fredonia and Moccasin appear as isolated outposts against the expanse of the Kaibab Plateau.
