2021 Map of Mount Dellenbaugh

About this map

Mt Dellenbaugh rises as a prominent landmark in this 2021 survey, marking a high point where the high plateau begins its dramatic descent toward the Colorado River basin. The landscape is defined by the massive erosion of the Grand Canyon National Park and the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, which meet here among deep-cut drainages like Twin Creek Canyon and Twin Spring Canyon. These canyons reveal the complex geology of the Shivwits Plateau, a region where water is scarce and life centers around isolated features like Mathis Spring and Lower Spring. On the southern reaches, narrow promontories such as Twin Point and Suicide Point provide expansive views over the lower canyon systems. The map details a remote wilderness where survival once depended on named water sources like Suicide Tank and the seasonal flows in Green Spring Canyon.
