2017 Map of Dee Pass

About this map

Agate Hills dominate this portion of the high desert plateau in Grand County, where the landscape is defined by deep drainages and strategic crossings. The map traces the essential transport corridors of the region, including the Ruby Ranch Rd and the Moab to Boulder Town route, which historically connected these isolated ranching and mining outposts. The concentration of water features like Salt Wash and Thompson Wash provides a clear view of the natural infrastructure that dictated movement through this arid environment. Significant landmarks such as Dee Pass and Duma Point offer geographic orientation within the surrounding Mancos Desert W. The inclusion of the White Wash Area and Tenmile Canyon highlights the specialized topography of south-central Utah, where seasonal washes and canyon systems have long served as both barriers and pathways for those navigating the backcountry.
