Below
is an image of Grand Wash Cliffs, taken at the end of December, 2002, where
the Colorado
flows out of the Grand Canyon into Lake Mead proper. Note the meander at the
lower right - in previous years
the flat brown area was covered in water. Now it is marsh, due to the record
low water level on Lake Mead.
This photo was taken from a plane en route from Las Vegas to Detroit.

Compare the photo on the left with a 3-D image
generated by Topo USA (v. 3.0) from DeLorme.
Pretty good match!
