2018 Map of Tatahatso Point

About this map

Grand Canyon National Park dominates this survey, where the Colorado River carves through the earth to reveal the spectacular geomorphology of Marble Canyon. The landscape is defined by sheer verticality and the erosive power of water, visible in the intricate branching of Shinumo Wash and the deep incision of Nautiloid Canyon. Human passage through this forbidding terrain is marked by the Anasazi Foot Bridge and the winding path of Indian Rte 6110 across the high plateaus. Within the Kaibab National Forest, features like The Bridge of Sighs and Point Hansbrough stand as prominent landmarks above the river. The map also captures several vital water sources in this arid environment, including Hanging Springs and the Black Spot Reservoir on the eastern plains, illustrating the careful management of natural resources on the Colorado Plateau.
