Grand Canyon of Colorado - Published 1978 by National Geographic
Satellite Image & Geological Cross-Section | Grand Canyon National Park | Large Wall Format (887 × 568 mm) | Premium Finishes
A remarkable fusion of space-age imagery and earth science, Grand Canyon of Colorado reveals one of the world’s greatest natural wonders in extraordinary detail. Published by National Geographic in July 1978, this map pairs a striking Landsat satellite image with a detailed geological cross-section, offering both a surface view and a window into deep time.
Issued as part of a two-map set alongside The Heart of the Grand Canyon, it accompanied National Geographic’s feature coverage of this iconic landscape—bringing together science, scale, and visual impact.
Why This Map Stands Out
A space-age perspective
Features a dramatic Landsat satellite image capturing the full breadth of the canyon.
Reveals what lies beneath
Includes a detailed geological cross-section showing layered rock formations.
Part of a classic National Geographic set
Designed as a companion to The Heart of the Grand Canyon.
Scientific and visually striking
Blends remote sensing with geological interpretation.
A powerful educational display
Perfect for understanding both the surface and structure of the canyon.
