2021 Map of Tapeats Amphitheater

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

The Tapeats Amphitheater dominates this section of the Arizona landscape, where the high elevations of the Kaibab National Forest drop into the deep gorges of Grand Canyon National Park. This 2021 survey illustrates the dramatic verticality of the region, specifically where the Colorado River cuts through the Granite Narrows at the southern edge. The map traces a complex network of backcountry routes, including the Thunder River Trl and the Bill Hall Trl, which navigate the steep descents from landmarks like Monument Point and Bridgers Knoll. A unique hydrological system is visible here, featuring the high-volume Thunder Spring and the relatively short Thunder River flowing into Tapeats Cr. The topography reveals the transition from the forested heights of the Kaibab Plateau to the stark desert basins of Surprise Valley, providing an essential guide to the drainage patterns of Deer Cr and Crazy Jug Canyon.
