2018 Map of Tincanebitts Point

About this map

Tincanebitts Point stands as a prominent landmark in this high-desert landscape where the borders of Grand Canyon National Park and the Lake Mead National Recreation Area converge. The topography is defined by the massive Sanup Plateau and deep incisions from drainages like Tincanebitts Canyon and Burnt Canyon. These deep corridors provide critical access to water sources in an otherwise arid environment, marked by several named seeps such as Tincanebitts Spring, Joe Spring, and Burnt Canyon Spring. The map documents a complex vertical landscape of rims and basins, including the elevated Twin Point and Red Point, illustrating the transition between the vast recreational reaches of Lake Mead and the protected wilderness of the Grand Canyon.
