About this map

Dinosaur National Monument contains some of the most dramatic river geography in the American West, centered on the confluence of the Green River and the Yampa River. This 2022 survey details the steep vertical relief of the Canyon of Lodore, where water has carved through ancient formations to create landmarks like Steamboat Rock and the Warms Spring Cliff. The map provides a high-resolution view of the area's intricate drainage systems, including Zenobia Cr, Burnt Gulch, and Sand Canyon.

Beyond the river corridors, the landscape rises into the high country of Douglas Mountain and Limestone Ridge. For researchers and hikers, the map identifies specific points of interest such as Echo Park, Outlaw Arch, and the Confluence/Sand Canyon Access Trl. This modern study serves as a precise guide to the remote terrain of Moffat County, capturing everything from Triple Falls to the appropriately named Starvation Valley.
