About this map

Hualapai Indian Reservation lands dominate this mid-1980s landscape, where the Colorado River carves through the dramatic depths of the Granite Gorge. The map captures a transitional geography between the high Shivwits Plateau and the Hualapai Valley, documenting the critical water sources that sustain this arid region, such as Peach Springs and Milkweed Spring.

Along the southern corridor, the At&Sf railroad and historic road networks connect small settlements like Truxton, Nelson, and the tribal center at Peach Springs. Local history is anchored by landmarks like the Grand Canyon Caverns and the Hualapai Tribal Airport, while the northern reaches show the protected canyons of Grand Canyon National Park. The survey illustrates the complex relationship between the rugged terrain of the Music Mountains and the essential infrastructure required for movement across the desert floor.
