2016 Map of Buckeye Reservoir

About this map

Buckeye Reservoir sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape along the border of San Juan County, Utah, and Montrose County, Colorado. The rugged terrain is defined by dramatic geological features such as the Sinbad Ridge and the Sinbad Valley in the northeast, while the southern reaches descend into the depths of Trinity Canyon. Much of the area is protected within the Manti-Lasal National Forest, where a network of primitive routes like Geyser Pass Rd and Two Mile Rd provides access to remote landmarks like Pine Flat and Willow Basin. Historically, this area served as a vital passage for travelers, evidenced by the presence of the Paradox Trail. Water sources including Mellenthin Cr and W Paradox Cr carve through the draws and flats, shaping the drainage patterns across the state line at State Line Draw.
