About this map

Valley of the Gods dominates the southern landscape of this San Juan County region, where the high plateau of Cedar Mesa breaks away into a complex network of canyons and sandstone monoliths. The 1989 provisional data shows a terrain defined by imaginative nomenclature, including the whimsical Rudolph and Santa Claus and the more formal De Gaulle and His Troops. This survey is notable for its specific cultural landmarks, such as the Cigarette Spring Cave USLM, which likely refers to a United States Location Monument used for mineral surveying. The drainage of Lime Creek carves through the central portion of the map, leading toward the distinct formations of Rooster Butte and Setting Hen Butte. While the area is primarily a study in physical geography, the inclusion of several Corrals and a Trans Line indicates the sparse but functional ranching and utility infrastructure present in this part of southeastern Utah during the late 20th century.
