1979 Map of Tusayan West

About this map

The settlement of Tusayan stands at the gateway to the high plateau country in the late 1970s, serving as a critical infrastructure point just south of the Grand Canyon National Park boundary. The landscape is defined by the winding course of the Coconino Wash and an extensive network of water management features, including Rain Tank, Boggy Tank, and Donaldson Tank, which underscore the historical importance of water security in this arid environment.
