2018 Map of Kanab Point

About this map

Kanab Point overlooks the dramatic intersection of desert canyons and the high plateaus of northern Arizona. This 2018 survey details the complex vertical geography where the Kanab Plateau drops into the deep drainages of Kanab Cr and Chamberlain Canyon. Along the southern boundary, the Colorado River passes through Grand Canyon National Park, featuring the turbulent Kanab Rapid. The map serves as a record of vital water sources in this arid landscape, noting the locations of North Spring, Jewel Spring, and the aptly named Showerbath Spring. Prominent landforms such as Shanub Point and Paguekwash Point define the rim, while the eastern edge of the quadrangle marks the boundary between Mohave and Coconino counties within the Kaibab National Forest.
