About this map

Blanding anchors the northern edge of this Utah landscape, serving as a gateway to the high desert terrain of San Juan County. The topography is dominated by the broad, flat expanses of White Mesa and Mustang Mesa, which are dissected by deep drainage systems such as Recapture Creek, Westwater Creek, and Corral Creek. To the south, the terrain becomes increasingly complex as the mesas break into distinctive landmarks like Murphy Point and Shumway Point, overlooking canyons including Road Canyon and Ute Canyon.

Evidence of the area's modern infrastructure and historical geography appears in labels such as the Blanding Municipal Airport, Kampark Campground, and a network of rural routes like Flour Mill Rd and Harris Ln. Notable local points of interest include Richmond Spg and the evocatively named Posey S Last Shot, reflecting the specific cultural and natural history recorded by the U.S. Geological Survey during this 2010 update.
