1988 Map of Havasu Falls

About this map

The Havasupai Indian Reservation sits at the heart of this landscape, where the dramatic descent of Havasu Creek creates a series of world-renowned cataracts including Havasu Falls, Mooney Falls, and Navajo Falls. This 1988 survey captures the intricate topography of the canyon floor, marking a Campground and Cem near the falls, as well as a Prospect Adit tucked into the side canyons. To the north, the Colorado River carves through the Grand Canyon National Park, featuring the turbulent Upset Rapids and Matkatamiba Rapids. The surrounding high country is defined by massive formations like Sinyella Mesa and Matkatamiba Mesa, while Mount Sinyella and Mount Akaba serve as prominent vertical landmarks. Traces of human presence appear in the form of a Trail system connecting the creek floor to the plateau above via Carbonate Canyon.
