1988 Map of Nankoweap Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Grand Canyon National Park and the western edge of the Navajo Indian Reservation meet along the powerful corridor of the Colorado River. This late-1980s survey captures the intersection of dramatic geological formations and ancient human history, specifically noting the presence of a Cliff Dwelling tucked within the walls of Nankoweap Canyon. The river channel is defined by significant navigational hazards like Nankoweap Rapids and Kwagunt Rapids, which have long dictated travel through the gorge. To the east, the terrain levels out across the Blue Moon Bench and Desert Facade, where the land is marked by seasonal drainages such as Tatahoysa Wash. High points like Gray Castle and the massive Nankoweap Mesa stand as prominent landmarks above the river's path through Marble Canyon.
