Grand Canyon region — November 1985

• The eastern end of the deeply incised Grand Canyon of northwestern Arizona is visible in the upper third of this low-oblique, southwestern-looking photograph. As the Colorado River makes a great upriver turn to the north−(bottom), the northwest-flowing Little Colorado River joins it from the east-(left) in Little Colorado River Canyon confluence. North−(below) this confluence is Marble Canyon.
• The forested, elevated land north−(lower right) of the big bend in the Colorado River is the Kaibab Plateau, on whose southern tip is the North Rim. The Coconino Plateau extends south−(upper right) from the South Rim. The darker colors are areas on the plateaus north and south of the Grand Canyon are where conifer habitats of vegetation are located.
• The Echo Cliffs appear as a dramatic diagonal change in topography near the northeast−(lower left) corner of the photograph, and southeast−(up) from this a small part of the Painted Desert is discernible.
