2014 Map of Lees Ferry

About this map

Lees Ferry serves as a critical historical point where the Paria River meets the Colorado River, marking the gateway between Glen Canyon National Recreation Area and Grand Canyon National Park. This landscape is defined by its deep canyons and towering rock formations, including the formidable Echo Cliffs and Echo Peak. The presence of Chair Crossing and the Honey Moon Trl illustrates the historic reliance on specific river crossings and trails to navigate this complex canyon system. Further south, the settlement at Navajo Springs and the nearby Navajo Spring indicate traditional water sources that have sustained travelers and residents in this arid environment. The map captures a moment in the early 21st century when these remote desert outposts continued to function as vital junctions for modern recreation and historic conservation.
