2011 Map of Travertine Rapids

About this map

The Colorado River carves through the lower reaches of this Mohave County landscape, marked by a series of treacherous river features including Two Hundred and Thirtytwo Mile Rapids and the notably named Travertine Rapids. The map illustrates a stark, hydrography-focused terrain where water and geology are the primary actors. Notable landforms such as Kelly Point overlook the deep drainage systems of Two Hundred and Twentyeightmile Canyon and Travertine Canyon. This 2011 survey records the river's path through the canyon floor, capturing the specific locations of landmarks like Travertine Falls and Diamond Creek Rapids. The absence of developed roads or settlements highlights the isolation of this river corridor, making it a vital reference for those studying the river's navigational hazards and the geological structures of the Arizona canyonlands.
