2013 Map of Canyon of Lodore South

About this map

Dinosaur National Monument encompasses the heart of this landscape, where the confluence of the Green River and the Yampa River takes place at Echo Park. This 2013 survey illustrates a wilderness defined by dramatic geological formations and river navigation hazards, including the Canyon of Lodore and the Half Mile Rapid. The map documents remote human outposts like Massey Cabin and Gardners Cabin, which stand against a backdrop of steep drainages such as Burnt Gulch and Iron Mine Draw. To the south, Steamboat Rock and Jenny Lind Rock serve as massive landmarks for those navigating the canyons. The topography transitions from high points like Wild Mountain to the sheer drops of Warms Spring Cliff, while the southern reaches reveal features like Outlaw Arch and the isolated Outlaw Park. The presence of Starvation Valley and Zenobia Basin underscores the formidable and remote character of this northwestern Colorado terrain.
