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.
