2014 Map of Hindu Canyon

About this map

Lake Mead National Recreation Area occupies the northern half of this terrain, where dramatic elevation changes define the landscape of the Colorado Plateau. The map is dominated by a series of deep drainages, most notably Hindu Canyon and Milkweed Canyon, which cut through the high desert toward the Colorado River system. These landforms reveal the complex geological structure of the region, illustrating how seasonal water flow has sculpted the earth over millennia.
