1962 Map of Powell Plateau

USGS Topo · Published 1985

About this map

The Colorado River carves through the heart of the Grand Canyon in this early 1960s study, revealing the immense vertical complexity of the Grand Canyon National Park and Kaibab National Forest. The landscape is defined by its massive plateaus and isolated buttes given evocative names such as Holy Grail Temple, Masonic Temple, and King Arthur Castle. These landforms rise above deep drainages like Tapeats Creek and Shinumo Creek, where the river's power is marked by named river miles and hazards including Specter Rapids and Hundred and Thirtyfive Mile Rapids.
