1988 Map of Tapeats Amphitheater

USGS Topo · Published 1988

About this map

Kaibab National Forest and the Grand Canyon National Game Preserve dominate the northern plateau of this 1988 survey, where several four-wheel-drive roads navigate the rim near Burnt Corral and Indian Hollow. The landscape undergoes a dramatic transition at the Wilderness Boundary and the edge of Grand Canyon National Park, where the terrain drops precipitously into the Tapeats Amphitheater. This geological feature is defined by deep incisions from Tapeats Creek and the notable Thunder River, which emerges from Thunder Cave at Thunder Spring. Along the southern margin, the Colorado River flows through the Granite Narrows, featuring the Hundred and Thirtyfive Mile Rapids. Significant vantage points such as Millet Point, Monument Point, and Crazy Jug Point offer documented perspectives of the complex drainage systems and the vast Surprise Valley below the rim.
