1959 Map of Ringbolt Rapids

USGS Topo · Published 1976

About this map

Colorado River currents define this desert landscape where the water carved through the Black Canyon along the border of Arizona and Nevada. In the mid-twentieth century, this stretch of the river remained a place of shifting hydrology, featuring a series of named hazards for river runners including Ringbolt Rapids, Cross Current Rapids, and Indian Rapids. The map illustrates the transition from the free-flowing river to the northern reaches of Lake Mohave, where the rising waters began to alter the canyon floor.
