2001 Map of Chippean Rocks

About this map

Manti-La Sal National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape in San Juan County, where the transition from mesas to deep canyons creates a complex network of natural landmarks and administrative boundaries. The map highlights the rugged topography around Maverick Point, where the Maverick Point Visitor Information Site stands as a focal point for the area. Transport and access are clearly delineated, including the remote Mormon Pasture Landing Strip and the winding route known as The Causeway. Geologic features dominate the view, from the jagged Reef of Rocks to the namesake Chippean Rocks. This survey also documents critical water sources in a dry environment, such as Sand Spring and the Flowing Well near Round Mountain, providing essential context for land use and movement through this part of the Colorado Plateau.
