About this map

Grand Canyon National Park terrain dominates this 2014 survey, highlighting the vertical complexity of the Colorado Plateau. The Colorado River snakes through the southern portion of the quadrangle, punctuated by powerful whitewater at Havasu Rapids, Hundred and Sixty-four Mile Rapids, and Gateway Rapids. These river features are bounded by sheer topographic rises leading toward high plateaus and mesas.

Upland features such as S B Point, Yumtheska Mesa, and Flatiron Butte offer significant vantage points over the deep drainages of Havasu Canyon and Hundred and Fifty Mile Canyon. Smaller water sources, including Little Joe Spring and Hotel Spring in the northern reaches, indicate the vital and scarce hydrology of the region. The unique geological formation known as The Cork and the nearby Cork Spring provide specific localized points of interest within this protected wilderness area along the border of Mohave and Coconino counties.
