About this map

The Colorado River carves a deep path through the heart of Grand Canyon National Park in this 2014 survey. This reach of the canyon is defined by its formidable white-water features, including Shinumo Rapids, Bass Rapids, and Ruby Rapids. The landscape is a complex architecture of named geological forms, with towering landmarks like Dox Castle and Wallace Butte rising above the river corridor.

Major promontories such as Havasupai Point and Point Sublime provide high-elevation perspectives over the vast network of side drainages, including Serpentine Canyon and Emerald Canyon. The topography reveals the distinctive tiered structure of the canyon walls, where broad benches like the Le Conte Plateau and Shaler Plateau sit between the inner gorge and the high rim. This map serves as an essential record of the corridor's named landforms and the treacherous hydrological features that have challenged river runners for over a century.
