1962 Map of Tuckup Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Kanab Plateau dominates this mid-century landscape, dropping precipitously into the depths of Tuckup Canyon and the Colorado River corridor. This remote territory, documented during a 1962 field check, marks a significant convergence of federal and tribal lands, including the Grand Canyon National Monument, the Hualapai Indian Reservation, and the Kaibab National Forest. Water sources are sparse but critical, noted by a network of ranching and wildlife improvements like School Section Tank, June Heaton Tank, and Merle Findlay Tank. The map reveals the intricate geology of the inner canyon, featuring landmarks such as The Dome and The Cork. These named features, along with isolated outposts like Schmutz Spring and Cottonwood Spring, illustrate the survival requirements for navigating this stretch of the Colorado before modern infrastructure changed the accessibility of the North Rim.
