1971 Map of Snap Canyon East

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Fort Garrett (Ruin) serves as a primary historical marker in this 1970s landscape, situated below the prominent elevation of Fort Garrett Point. The terrain is defined by the dramatic descent from the Upper Plateau into the deep drainages of Snap Canyon and Cunningham Canyon. Much of the western portion of the map is preserved within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area, where the landscape transitions into the wide expanse of the Grand Wash. This survey captures the region's character as a crossroads of high desert mesas and steep canyon systems, marked by the distinctive Snap Point overlooking the wash. Transportation is limited to a primitive Jeep Trail, illustrating the isolation of this corner of Arizona. The inclusion of Pearce Canyon further highlights the complex geological erosion patterns that dominate the area's geography.
