2011 Map of Black Steer Canyon

About this map

Black Steer Point and the high plateaus of San Juan County define this 2011 survey, which documents the remote drainage systems of southeastern Utah. The landscape is characterized by deep erosional features such as Black Steer Canyon and Woodenshoe Canyon, revealing the intricate topography of the region. Transportation in this area is limited to a network of unimproved routes, including Woodenshoe Rd and the aptly named Left Leg Rd, which provide access to the Upper Horse Flats. These roads and trails are vital for navigating the transitions between the prominent high points like Black Point and the descending canyon floors. The map, produced by the U.S. Geological Survey, utilizes NAIP imagery from 2009 to provide a precise view of the terrain before more recent environmental shifts.
