This panoramic view of the Grand Canyon by William H. Holmes was published in Clarence E. Dutton's 1882 atlas to accompany the monograph on the Tertiary History of the Grand Cañon District. This map was made as part of a government-sponsored survey of the canyon, which was the first attempt at stratigraphic mapping in the United States. Holmes was the leading scientific illustrator of topographic and geologic phenomena for the Great Western Surveys following the American Civil War. He later became the first director of the National Gallery of Art in Washington, D.C.
