About this map

Grand Canyon National Park and the Lake Mead National Recreation Area converge here, marking a rugged transition in the Northern Arizona wilderness. The landscape is defined by the deep incisions of the Colorado River, which flows past Boulder Wash in the northwestern quadrant. The intricate topography reveals the erosion patterns of the Colorado Plateau, notably where the Hundred and Ninetytwo Mile Canyon and Hundred and Ninetythree Mile Cr cut through the high desert terrain.

Along the southern bank, the Colorado River Trl follows the water's edge, tracing a path through some of the most remote sections of the canyon system. The map also identifies Big Spring near the southern boundary, a critical water source in this arid environment. This 2021 survey serves as a modern record of federal land management boundaries where Mohave and Coconino counties meet, documenting the preservation of these significant geological landmarks.
