2018 Map of Snap Canyon East

About this map

Grand Canyon National Park and the Lake Mead National Recreation Area meet in this 2018 survey of the Arizona strip. The dramatic verticality of the landscape is defined by the Grand Wash Cliffs and the Upper Grand Wash Cliffs, which separate the lower desert reaches from the high Sanup Plateau. This region is defined by its extreme topography rather than human settlement, with the land deeply incised by drainages such as Snap Canyon, Cunningham Canyon, and Pearce Canyon. High vantage points like Snap Point and Fort Garrett Point provide overlooks of the complex geology. Aside from the primitive Rd 1012 and the locality of Nevershine, the map depicts a wilderness largely untouched by modern infrastructure, preserved within these overlapping federal jurisdictions.
