2021 Map of North Canyon Point

About this map

Grand Canyon National Park occupies the central corridor of this survey, where the Colorado River carves deeply through the landscape of northern Arizona. The topography is defined by the sheer verticality of Marble Canyon, a stretch of the river system punctuated by treacherous white water such as Hansbrough-Richards Rapid and the Twenty-four and One-Half Mile Rapids. To the west, the relatively level expanse of House Rock Valley contrasts sharply with the canyon depths, providing essential stock water at sites like Jensen Tanks. The map reveals the intricate network of drainage systems feeding into the main artery, including Twenty-nine Mile Canyon and N Canyon Wash. This area serves as a critical junction for remote backcountry travel, evidenced by the Colorado River Trl and the South Canyon Trl which provide limited access to the canyon floor and the high overlook at North Canyon Point.
