Rather than a photograph of the canyon itself, this picture is a relief map of Grand Canyon National Park and the surrounding country in northern Arizona, made in 1972. Such maps use shaded, sculpted terrain to show elevation, so the viewer can see at a glance how the Colorado River cut its way down through layered rock and how the plateaus rise to either side. Maps like this were popular with park visitors and planners, who used them to grasp the scale of a landscape too large to take in from any single overlook.
