1954 Map of Nankoweap

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Colorado River whitewater and sheer canyon walls dominate this mid-century survey, which reveals the complex vertical geography where the Kaibab National Forest meets the Grand Canyon National Park. The landscape is a corridor of dramatic drops, punctuated by President Harding Rapids and Nankoweap Rapids. Along the riverbanks, evidence of ancient and modern land use appears in the form of Cliff Dwellings near Nankoweap Canyon and a Tramway Tower on the eastern bank.
