1886 Map of Kaibab
USGS Topo · Published 1904About this map
The Colorado River carves a deep path through the northern Arizona territory on this 1886 reconnaissance survey, providing a detailed record of the landscape under director J. W. Powell. The vast Kaibab Plateau dominates the eastern half of the sheet, while the northern edge is defined by the Vermilion Cliffs and the Arizona Boundary Line. The presence of numerous vital water sources, such as Pipe Spring, Big Spring, and Moccasin Spring, highlights the critical importance of reliable water for late 19th-century travelers and settlers in these arid canyons.
