1988 Map of Kanab Point

About this map

Kanab Point stands as a prominent overlook above the deep canyons of northern Arizona, situated where the high plateaus meet the intricate drainage systems of the Colorado River. This late-1980s survey illustrates a landscape defined by federal land management, capturing the intersection of Grand Canyon National Park, the Kaibab National Forest, and the Kanab Creek Game Preserve. The topography is marked by significant elevation drops from the rim down toward the Kanab Rapids, with intermittent water sources such as Showerbath Spring and North Spring providing critical points of interest in this arid environment. The map details the complex network of side canyons like Chamberlain Canyon and the winding course of Robinson Wash, showing the region's natural geography before modern environmental shifts altered these remote drainage patterns.
