Caption: "Maricopa Point - Grand Canyon of Arizona," c. 1925. Erroneously labeled, this photograph shows Grace McCarthy standing at the Powell Memorial on Powell Point, rather than Maricopa Point. The granite Powell Memorial commemorates John Wesley Powell, who explored the Colorado River in 1869 and 1872. The 1869 expedition included the first known descent of a person of European ancestry into the Grand Canyon.
