About this map

Dinosaur serves as the focal point of this landscape at the high-desert border of Colorado and Utah. The town is famously characterized by its prehistoric-themed street names, including Brontosaurus Blvd, Triceratops Ter, and Brachiosaurus Byp. Beyond the settlement, the terrain is defined by dramatic geological formations such as the Snake John Reef and Raven Ridge, which run southeast toward the Coyote Basin.

Transport and industrial patterns are evident through the RR Tracks and the presence of the Deserado roadway in the southern reaches. The map documents a complex network of drainage and topographical breaks, from Deadman Bench Divide to the winding course of Dripping Rock Creek. This record captures the unique intersection of paleontological heritage and the modern extraction and transit infrastructure of the tristate boundary region.
