2021 Map of Navajo Bridge

About this map

Colorado River navigation and the geography of the northern Arizona borderlands define this area where the Glen Canyon National Recreation Area meets Grand Canyon National Park. The landscape is dominated by the dramatic elevation changes of the Vermilion Cliffs and the Paria Plateau, with the Navajo Bridge serving as a critical crossing point over the river gorge. The settlement of Marble Canyon sits at the base of these cliffs, supported by the Marble Canyon Airport and access via Lees Ferry Road. Interpretive details show the hydraulic character of the canyon, from the Badger Creek Rapids to the Cathedral Wash. Local landmarks like Powells Monument and Cathedral Rock offer precise points of reference for those tracing the history of river expeditions or land surveys in this section of Coconino County.
