Album caption and index card: This downstream view shows the debris fan at the mouth of Fossil Canyon (out of view on left), 200.8 kilometers below Lees Ferry. The Middle Cambrian Bright Angel Shale is exposed near river level through this reach of the canyon, although it is mostly covered by slope wash. A line of scattered shrubs marks the high water line above the barren beach of rocks and patches of sand. (Altittude 623 meters). Grand Canyon National Park. Coconino County, Arizona. September 6, 1923. (Photo no. 514 by E.C. LaRue). Portion published as Figure 54A in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional Paper 1132. 1980.

Album caption and index card: E.C. LaRue, a member of the 1923 U.S. Geological Survey team, took this upstream view at the lower end of Tanner Wash rapids in Marble Canyon, 39.4 kilometers below Lees Ferry. These rapids have been difficult to navigate in the past: Powell posted and lined here in 1869; two members of the Brown-Stanton party drowned here in 1889; Bert Loper's boat capsized here in 1939 and he was never seen again. A large pile of driftwood has accumulated on the silt deposit in front of the boats. Pre-Glen Canyon high-water surges probably overflowed the uppermost boulders.Roughly 2 kilometers upstream from this station recent river silts 6-7.5 meters above river level remain as evidence of the height...

Album caption and index card: This view was taken from the top of a talus slope on the right bank a short distance above Triple Alcoves, 74.8 kilometers below Lees Ferry. The vertical outcrops with conspicuous bedding at right foreground are the Middle Cambrian Muav Limestone. The Mississippian Redwall Limestone forms the vertical cliffs above the right bank. A few logs of driftwood can be seen along the upper part of the boulder-strewn beach; elsewhere on the beach, there are no signs of plants. (Altitude 858 meters). Boat near center bottom. Grand Canyon National Park. Coconino County, Arizona. 1923. (Photo no. 390 by E.C. LaRue). Portion published as Figure 43A in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional Paper...

Album caption and index card: This downstream view shows the stretch of quiet water above Soap Creek rapids, 17.7 kilometers below Lees Ferry. The alluvium near the river is devoid of plants. A few outcrops of the Lower Permian Hermit Shale on the slope above the river are exposed through the covering of debris that has fallen from above. Two men in boats on Colorado River at right. (Altitude 933 meters). Grand Canyon National Park. Coconino County, Arizona. August 2, 1923. (Photo no. 338 by E.C. LaRue). Portion published as Figure 37A in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional Paper 1132. 1980.

Album caption and index card: The U.S. Geological Survey team camped on the right bank, 34.6 kilometers below Lees Ferry. A portion of the Pennsylvanian and Lower Permian Supai Group is here exposed at the upper right. The stick in the foreground is a mast for a radio antenna. The conspicuous plants on the sandy knoll behind the four men are probably wire lettuce and spiny aster. On the opposite bank, a discontinuous line of shrubs, probably Apache plume, marks the level of maximum river stage. (Altitude 907 meters). Boat also visible at near shore. Grand Canyon National Park. Coconino County, Arizona. August 6, 1923. (Photo no. 353 by E.C. LaRue). Published as Figure 38A in U.S. Geological Survey. Professional...
