2019 Map of Canyon of Lodore South

About this map

Dinosaur National Monument encompasses a dramatic convergence of water and stone within this northern Colorado landscape. The deep incision of the Canyon of Lodore follows the Green River southward until it meets the Yampa River at Echo Park. This confluence is marked by massive geologic features like Steamboat Rock and Jenny Lind Rock, which rise sharply from the riverbanks. High plateaus such as the Zenobia Basin and the Green River Slope overlook the canyons, while hidden alcoves and springs like Chokecherry Spring dot the arid terrain. The map details the complex drainage systems of Burnt Gulch and Iron Mine Draw, illustrating the rugged topography that historically dictated travel and settlement in this corner of Moffat County. Modern access is preserved through the Confluence/Sand Canyon Access Trail, linking the lower parks to the surrounding canyon walls.
