About this map

Ruby Ranch and the historical access routes of Ten Mile define the high desert landscape of Grand County in this 2014 survey. The map details a complex network of ephemeral drainage systems, most notably Salt Wash, Thompson Wash, and the extensive Tenmile Wash, which carves through Tenmile Canyon. These watercourses have long dictated movement through the arid terrain, leading travelers toward landmarks like Dee Pass and the prominent Duma Point.

Evidence of ranching and land use is sparse but significant, centered on features such as Levi Well and the Levi Upper Tenmile area. The topographic data captures the sharp transitions of the plateau, including Ten Mile Point and Old Dead Horse Pt. This record serves as a primary reference for understanding the modern geographic state of these named landmarks and their relationship to the surrounding washes.
