Thanks for this very detailed analysis, Paul! I would have said that was the definitive pronouncement on the matter.
I tried to get hold of Dutton, C. E. 1882a. The Tertiary History of the Grand Canon District. US Geological Survey, Monograph 2, but without success. (I found one copy on sale for $10,000 ... slightly over my budget) There are some extracts from the atlas - [
www.loc.gov] - but nothing about AE names.
More atlas pages here; [

... I suspect, but cannot demonstrate, that Dutton's names could have inspired the newspaper article.
I believe that you're very likely right.
