2011 Map of Cedar Mesa North

About this map

Cedar Mesa dominates this landscape, defined by a network of high plateaus and deeply carved drainages including Grand Gulch and Bullet Canyon. The map identifies the Split Level Ruin in the northern reaches, emphasizing the long history of human presence in these canyons. A modern infrastructure of dirt roads like Snow Flats Rd and Cigarette Springs Rd provides access to the high flats and trailheads. This 2011 survey also documents specific scientific and recreational points of interest, such as the Watershed Study Plot and the Bullet Canyon Trailhead, illustrating how the land is managed for both research and wilderness exploration. Drainage systems like Owl Creek and Lime Creek carve through the mesa edges, creating the intricate topography characteristic of the Polly Mesa area.
