Dutton’s Atlas project website
Authored by Clarence Dutton as the first publication of the fledging United States Geological Survey (USGS), the Tertiary History of the Grand Cañon District with Atlas (1882), provided the world’s first comprehensive treatment of Grand Canyon geology. It delivered an unprecedented combination of literature, art, and cartography whose reach extended far beyond its original intention.
What began as a work of science has survived as an unparalleled work of literature and landscape aesthetics. The Tertiary History of the Grand Cañon District with Atlas (Dutton’s Atlas) revolutionized how modern society came to conceptualize and valorize the Grand Canyon.
Attend in person at Hayden Library on ASU’s Tempe campus or join them online! Additional details, and instructions for online-viewing coming soon.
