About this map

The Colorado River carves its way through the high desert of northern Arizona on this mid-century topographic record. The map details the transition from the Kaibab Plateau down into the immense depth of the Grand Canyon, showing the complex network of side drainages like Kanab Creek and Bright Angel Creek. This era of documentation reveals a landscape of isolated homesteads and livestock operations, such as Diamond Butte Ranch and the Sullivan Ranch, highlighting the rugged existence of ranchers in the Strip.
