2023 Map of Dee Pass

About this map

Agate Hills rise prominently across this desert landscape in Grand County, Utah, where a network of remote trails and primitive roads crisscrosses the arid terrain. The map emphasizes the intricate drainage patterns of the Mancos Desert W, defined by the erosive reach of Salt Wash and the winding course of Tenmile Wash. This contemporary survey highlights the area's importance for backcountry transit, noting specific routes like Ruby Ranch Rd and the Duma Mine Cutoff Trl that navigate the varied elevations near Duma Point and Tenmile Point. The presence of the White Wash Area and various loops such as the Enduro Loop Trl indicates a geography heavily utilized for modern recreation and mineral exploration. Deep canyons, including Tenmile Canyon, contrast with the broader desert flats, providing a clear view of the geological transitions throughout this high-altitude desert region.
