2020 Map of Danish Flat

About this map

Danish Flat and the surrounding high desert plateau of Grand County are defined here by a network of resource extraction and transit routes. The settlement at Agate and the nearby Agate Siding along the Railroad emphasize the importance of industrial logistics in this arid landscape. The map reveals an active energy landscape, notably the Agate Oil Field and numerous water sources essential for remote operations, such as Jims Well and Broadhead Well. Topographically, the area transitions from the broad expanse of Grand Valley toward the prominent elevation of Cisco Mesa. Drainage patterns are marked by Cottonwood Wash and Cisco Wash, which cut through the terrain. A complex system of local roads, including the Straight Shot and Cisco Springs Rd, connects these isolated infrastructure points across the desert.
