About this map

Grand Canyon National Park and the Lake Mead National Recreation Area converge in this high-desert landscape, dominated by the dramatic verticality of the Arizona Strip. The map illustrates a complex network of drainage systems, including the prominent Parashant Wash which carves through the terrain toward Parashant Canyon. Promontories like Whitmore Point and Andrus Point offer significant topographical perspective over the surrounding flats and canyons.

Water sources are vital markers in this arid environment, represented by a series of isolated springs and seeps. Geographers and historians can identify Shults Spring, George Spring, and Cedar Spring scattered along the canyon floors. Human intervention in the landscape is visible through the Grassie Point Reservoir in the northern reaches, while the presence of Lone Mtn provides a clear landmark for navigation across the rugged interior.
