Clarence E. Dutton began working on his Tertiary History of the Grand Canon District while he was a member of the Powell survey. The Atlas beautifully illustrates the Grand Canyon with the use of color lithography by Julius Bien. The panoramas of the spectacular river gorge are after the paintings of two brilliant topographical artists, W. H. Holmes and Thomas Moran. Tertiary History was important both as a work of art and as the scientific foundation upon which subsequent mapping was based. It is one of the most important cartographic works devoted to the Grand Canyon.
