1967 Map of Travertine Rapids

About this map

The Lower Colorado River carves a deep path through the Granite Gorge in this Mohave County landscape, recorded during the late 1960s. The southern bank is defined by the Hualapai Indian Reservation, while the northern reaches fall within the Lake Mead National Recreation Area. The river's character here is defined by significant navigational hazards and landmarks, including the namesake Travertine Rapids, Travertine Falls, and Diamond Creek Rapids. This reach of the river is meticulously marked by river mileages, with features like Two Hundred and Thirtyone Mile Rapids providing exact locations for river travelers. To the north, the elevation rises sharply toward the Shivwits Plateau and Kelly Point, while the terrain is dissected by deep cuts like Two Hundred and Twentymile Canyon.
