About this map

The Colorado River carves a deep path through this corner of Grand Canyon National Park, revealing a landscape of steep mesas and dramatic canyon walls. Along the river, powerful water features like Upset Rapids, Matkatamiba Rapids, and Sinyella Rapids demonstrate the constant erosive force at the canyon's floor. The map highlights the confluence of major side canyons, including Matkatamiba Canyon and Sinyella Canyon, which feed into the main river channel.

Further south, the winding course of Havasu Creek reveals a series of world-renowned waterfalls. This drainage is home to Havasu Falls, Beaver Falls, Mooney Falls, and Navajo Falls, creating a distinct riparian corridor in the arid environment. Notable topographic landmarks such as Mount Sinyella and Dead Horse Mesa rise above the drainage systems, while Beaver Spring provides a critical water source within the depth of Beaver Canyon.
