1969 Map of Grand Falls

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Navajo Indian Reservation lands dominate this late-1960s landscape, centered on the dramatic geological break where the Little Colorado River plunges at Grand Falls. The river's course is flanked by several archaeological sites marked simply as Ruins, hinting at much older habitation patterns along the canyon rims. Infrastructure in this era remains minimal, focused primarily on water management and basic access, including a Gaging Station and a Picnic Area near the falls. The terrain north of the river is defined by drainage systems like Dinnebito Wash and prominent Sand Dunes to the southeast of the main cataract. A network of Jeep Trails provides the only passage through this arid environment, connecting isolated points such as Muddy Tank and the cinder-cone landscape around Little Roden.
