2018 Map of Havasupai Point

About this map

The Colorado River carves a deep path through Grand Canyon National Park, revealing the dramatic verticality of the Arizona landscape. This survey documents the complex erosional features that define the North and South Rims, from the towering heights of Havasupai Point and Point Sublime to the shadowed depths of the Granite Gorge. The map illustrates a network of named canyons and side streams, including Shinumo Cr and Turquoise Canyon, which feed into the river at turbulent points like Shinumo Rapids and Agate Rapids. Isolated topographic features such as Dox Castle, Castor Temple, and Fossil Mtn stand as prominent landmarks above the vast basins of the Shinumo Amphitheater and Monadnock Amphitheater. Access through this wilderness is marked by historic routes like the W Tonto and S Bass trails, which navigate the steep descents from the Shaler Plateau and Le Conte Plateau to the river's edge.
