2010 Map of Aneth

About this map

Aneth serves as a focal point in this high-desert landscape where the San Juan River meets McElmo Creek. The topography is defined by significant elevations like White Mesa and Aneth Point, illustrating the deep erosion patterns characteristic of the region. A network of routes, including the Old Aneth Cutoff and Indian Rte 5068, connects the settlement to the surrounding plateaus and canyons. The presence of Lightning Rock and landmarks such as Lone Mountain suggest a landscape used for both navigation and livestock movement. Further south, the map details the transition into Tsitah Valley and the drainage of Tsitah Wash, highlighting the complex hydrology of this arid environment. This 2010 survey reflects the modern road infrastructure while preserving the names of traditional geographic markers that have defined this corner of Utah for generations.
