2018 Map of King Arthur Castle

About this map

Grand Canyon National Park and the Kaibab National Forest meet in this high-elevation landscape, where the Kaibab Plateau transitions into a network of dramatic canyons and named summits. This 2018 survey documents a remote portion of the North Rim where the Powell Plateau and Rainbow Plateau overlook a complex system of drainages, including Muav Canyon and Shinumo Cr. The nomenclature of the area is distinctively thematic, featuring landmarks such as Elaine Castle, Lancelot Point, and the Masonic Temple. Geologists and researchers can trace the course of White Cr as it flows past Holy Grail Temple toward the lower reaches of the canyon system. Water sources like South Big Spring and Powell Spring are critical points of interest in this arid, high-altitude environment, while the Natural Bridge near the Muav Saddle provides a specific focal point for topographic study.
