2021 Map of Vulcans Throne

USGS Topo · Published 2021

About this map

Vulcans Throne stands as a prominent landmark overlooking the Colorado River within Grand Canyon National Park. This portion of the North Rim captures a complex landscape of vertical relief, where the Toroweap Cliffs and Aubrey Cliffs define the eastern and western horizons. The map documents the intricate river corridor, featuring the renowned Lava Falls and Lava Falls Rapids, alongside distinctive geological formations like the Lava Pinnacle and the expansive Esplanade Bench. The intersection of Mohave and Coconino counties runs directly through the river channel, illustrating how natural features historically dictated administrative boundaries. Evidence of the area's hydrology and transit is found in the various livestock tanks such as Mustang Tank and Cougar Tank, and primitive routes like the Colorado River Trl and Tuckup Trl that navigate the steep descents of Prospect Canyon.
