Channel Mapping of the Colorado River in Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona - April 2011, river miles 61 to 88 — Data

Metadata Updated: February 22, 2025

Bathymetric, topographic, and grain-size data were collected in April 2011 along a 27-mi (43.5 – km) reach of the Colorado River in Grand Canyon National Park, Arizona. The study reach begins at river mile 61.1, about 0.6 -mi (1 –km) above the confluence of the Colorado and Little Colorado Rivers and ends at river mile 88.1 at the upstream boundary of the Bright Angel Rapid (Phantom Ranch boat beach). Channel bathymetry was mapped using multibeam and singlebeam echosounders, subaerial topography was mapped using ground-based total-stations, and bed-sediment grain-size data were collected using an underwater digital microscope system. These data were combined to produce digital elevation models, spatially variable estimates of digital elevation model uncertainty, georeferenced grain-size data, and bed-sediment distribution maps. These data were collected by the Southwest Biological Science Center, Grand Canyon Monitoring and Science Center as a component of a larger effort to monitor the status and trends of sand storage along the Colorado River in Grand Canyon National Park.
