1967 Map of Vulcans Throne

About this map

Vulcans Throne stands as a prominent landmark overlooking the Colorado River in this 1967 survey of the Arizona backcountry. The landscape is defined by the meeting of the Grand Canyon National Monument and the Hualapai Indian Reservation, separated by the river’s winding course. This era shows a network of remote trails and jeep trails navigating through Toroweap Valley and along the formidable Toroweap Cliffs. Significant water sources like Warm Springs and Honga Springs appear near the river, which features the turbulent Lava Falls Rapids. To the south, the Aubrey Cliffs and Mohawk Rim frame the Prospect Valley, where isolated watering points such as Mustang Tank and Elk Tank indicate the vital infrastructure required for movement through this arid corridor.
