2023 Map of Boundary Butte

About this map

Tohanadli Spring and Sand Spring provide critical water sources in this arid stretch of San Juan County, where the landscape is defined by massive sandstone formations and intermittent drainage systems. The prominent Boundary Butte serves as a central landmark, accompanied by the geological curiosity of Boundary Butte Arch. A network of high-desert roads, including Mexican Water Rd and Indian Rte 5060, crisscrosses the plateau, connecting the higher elevations of Boundary Butte Mesa with the lower expanses of Nokaito Bench. The presence of several named springs and the ephemeral path of Gothic Creek illustrate the historical importance of water management for travel and livestock in this remote corner of Utah.
