2017 Map of Bogart Canyon

About this map

Mormon Ridge and Went Ridge define the northern drainages of this Grand County landscape, where the high desert is carved into a complex system of deep draws and canyons. The terrain is marked by isolated water sources and natural catchment areas, such as the notably named Hells Hole, Beaver Hole, and Surveyors Hole. These features, along with Oak Springs, suggest the critical importance of water for livestock or early travelers in this arid region. The drainage network is primarily defined by the Nash Wash system and the branching arms of Thompson Canyon, including the Right Hand Thompson Canyon. The lack of established roads or modern structures across these townships emphasizes the persistence of the wilderness character into the early 21st century, as the land remains primarily shaped by natural erosion and the ephemeral flow of creeks like Clear Cr and Fish Cr.
