1988 Map of Nankoweap Mesa
USGS Topo · Published 1988About this map
The Colorado River carves a path through this section of the Arizona desert, marking the boundary where Grand Canyon National Park meets the western edge of the Navajo Indian Reservation. This 1988 survey, based on aerial photography from the early 1980s, reveals a landscape defined by extreme elevation changes, from the riverbed to the heights of Nankoweap Mesa. The presence of a cliff dwelling tucked into the canyon walls north of Nankoweap Creek provides evidence of ancient habitation within the sheer cliffs of Marble Canyon.
