Summary

Album caption and index card: This upstream view was taken from a point 168 meters above the Colorado River and shows Granite Park, 336 kolometers below Lees Ferry. A flood-line community is strongly developed along this section of the canyon. Some trees have become established at the edge of the river, a habitat that is here more stable than usual because of the great width of the valley floor. (Altitude 442 meters). Grand Canyon National Park. Mohave County, Arizona. September 28, 1923. (Photo no. 642 by E.C. LaRue). Portion published as Figure 64A in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional Paper 1132. 1980.
