Arches National Park reaches into the southwestern corner of this Grand County landscape, where the high desert terrain is defined by dramatic mesas and named canyons. The northern portion is dominated by the provocatively named The Poison Strip, an area marked by uranium mining history, including the Cactus Rat Mine. Water is a scarce and precious resource in this arid environment, evidenced by scattered improvements like the Yellow Cat Reservoir and isolated water sources such as Meeker Water and Lipiquitno Water.
