1999 Map of Lees Ferry

USGS Topo · Published 2003

About this map

The confluence of the Colorado River and the Paria River at Lees Ferry defines this northern Arizona landscape, where the canyons of the Colorado begin their deep descent. This map shows the transition from the Glen Canyon reach into the upper walls of Marble Canyon, a historically significant crossing point for travelers and explorers. The rugged terrain is punctuated by significant vertical features such as the Echo Cliffs and Backbone, with the narrow Paria Canyon cutting through the northern section. Evidence of small-scale resource extraction appears in the form of several prospects scattered near the Echo Peaks Creek drainage. Further south, the map details the Navajo Indian Reservation boundary and reliable water sources like Navajo Spring and Navajo Spring No 2, which were critical for local settlement and travel in this arid environment.
