2017 Map of Cedar Mesa North

About this map

Grand Gulch and Cedar Mesa define the dramatic canyon-cut topography of this high desert landscape in San Juan County. This 2017 survey details the complex network of plateaus and drainages, including Todie Flat, Coyote Flat, and Brushy Flat. These level uplands are segmented by deep incisions like Bullet Canyon and Sheiks Canyon, which feed into the primary gulch system. A sparse network of unpaved tracks, such as Cigarette Springs RD and Slick Horn RD, provides the only modern access across this remote terrain. The presence of Todie Spring and the drainage of Lime Cr at the southern edge highlight the critical, limited water sources in an otherwise arid environment. This map captures the intersection of traditional land divisions like Polly Mesa and the expansive vistas of the Long Flat region.
