1970 Map of Bryson Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1987

About this map

San Arroyo Ridge and Bryson Ridge dominate this high-desert landscape in northeastern Grand County, where the topography is defined by deeply incised drainage systems and industrial extraction. The map reveals the extensive infrastructure of the Stateline Gas Field, a network of Gas Wells and Drill Holes connected by winding Jeep Trails that traverse the complex terrain between San Arroyo Canyon and Bitter Creek. This 1970s-era survey, updated in the late 1980s, documents a transition in land use as energy development integrated with traditional grazing, indicated by a lone Corral and numerous fence lines. Key landmarks like Hat Rock and Lion Bench provide orientation amidst the labyrinth of ephemeral waterways including Winter Camp Wash and Bryson Wash, illustrating the geologic character of the Cliffs and canyons that define this remote border region.
