2023 Map of Bluff NW

About this map

Comb Ridge dominates the eastern half of this landscape, creating a dramatic linear barrier that defines the local drainage patterns. To the west, the high plateau of Snow Flat sits above a complex network of canyons and washes, including the deep incisions of Mule Canyon and Fish Creek. This area of San Juan County is marked by its remote character, where access is limited to rugged tracks like Comb Wash Rd and various county roads such as Co RD 236. The map illustrates a transition from the broad, open flats to the confined corridors of Butler Canyon and Stevens Canyon, revealing how the topography dictated travel routes through features like The Twist. Rare water sources, such as Sweet Springs, appear as vital points in this otherwise arid environment.
