Viewing Power and Place at Grand Canyon: Grand View Point, 1880–1926

Figure 4.

This detail from a 1904 "Grand Canyon of the Colorado" map, created by the stereoview photograph company Underwood & Underwood, reveals the locations of so-called scenic viewpoints and tourism development at the south rim of the canyon in the transitional years between mining and tourism economies. The map and image set was reprinted for several years between 1904 and 1909. The map was sold together with a small booklet and a set of stereoview images. Each image was numbered and tagged to a specific location on the map. The circled numbers match the image number and show the location of the photo, while the lines represent the image's viewshed. Bottom right of the map shows location 8 near Grand View Hotel and nearby Grand View Trail. Courtesy of Library of Congress Geography and Map Division. Item #98687190. See Figure 5 for the stereoview near this location.
