About this map

The Colorado River carves a deep path through this remote Arizona landscape, serving as the primary boundary between Grand Canyon National Park to the west and the Lake Mead National Recreation Area to the east. This section of the river canyon is defined by its dramatic tributary systems, including Indian Canyon, Two Hundred and Ninemile Canyon, and Fall Canyon. Along the riverbanks, the Colorado River Trl tracks the water's edge past Granite Park, providing a narrow corridor for passage through the steep terrain.

Water sources are scarce but significant in this arid environment, marked by the presence of Pumpkin Spring and Stanley Spring. The river itself is punctuated by named features like Three Springs Rapid and the entry of several numerically named drainages, such as Two Hundred and Fourteenmile Cr and Two Hundred and Fifteenmile Cr. The map captures the intersection of Mohave and Coconino counties in a wilderness area largely untouched by modern road infrastructure.
