About this map

Cleopatras Chair stands as a prominent landmark amidst a labyrinth of deep desert drainages in this 2010 U.S. Geological Survey representation of San Juan County. The terrain is defined by the massive Orange Cliffs and a complex network of canyons, including Millard Canyon, Deadhorse Canyon, and Horse Canyon. To the northeast, the Green River carves through the landscape at Bonita Bend, creating distinctive riparian features like Anderson Bottom as it enters Stillwater Canyon.

Strategic vantage points such as Panorama Point and the Panorama Point Overlook offer expansive views over the Buttes of the Cross and the surrounding Benches. This map illustrates a region where geography dictates movement, showing the sharp transition from high plateaus like North Point to the floor of Unknown Canyon. The absence of modern development highlights the preserved state of these landforms, which remain critical reference points for backcountry navigation and geologic study.
