Frederic Samuel Dellenbaugh's talents in art and mapmaking led him to join John Wesley Powell on his second exploratory voyage down the Colorado River early in the 1870s. Overshadowed by Powell's spectacular first voyage down the Colorado and Green rivers, the second expedition was important in that it mapped the great river and provided scientific data invaluable to the understanding of the geology of the Colorado Plateau.
