2010 Map of Bluff SW

About this map

Comb Ridge dominates this high-desert landscape in San Juan County, forming a striking geological spine that runs north-to-south. The map details the drainage systems of Comb Wash and Butler Wash, which parallel the ridge and have long served as primary travel corridors through this arid terrain. Access to the interior is defined by a network of backcountry routes, including Snow Flats Rd and Lower Butler Wash Rd, which navigate between prominent elevations like Lime Ridge and Tank Mesa. The presence of the Bluff Airport in the southeastern corner near C R 289A Bluff Airport indicates the modern infrastructure supporting this otherwise remote section of the Colorado Plateau. Several deep-cut drainages, such as Road Canyon, Barton Range Canyon, and Snake Canyon, underscore the intricate erosion patterns characteristic of the region's sandstone topography.
