About this map

The settlement of Blanding anchors the northern edge of this Utah landscape, where residential streets like W 100 S and E Harris Ln give way to the expansive canyon country of San Juan County. To the south, the community of White Mesa sits atop the landform for which it is named, situated along the corridor established by S Main St. This area is characterized by a dramatic series of north-south drainages, most notably Recapture Creek and Mustang Canyon, which carve deep incisions through the high desert floor.

Evidence of the region's sparse water resources is marked by isolated points such as Mustang Spring, Richmond Spring, and Ruin Spring. The topography is defined by prominent overlooks and mesa edges, including Mustang Mesa, Browns Point, and Murphy Point. Aviation infrastructure is represented by the Blanding Municipal Airport, while a network of rural routes like Around the World Rd and Race Track Rd provide access to the remote points and canyons that dominate the southern half of the quadrangle.
