About this map

The Green River carves a deep path through this portion of Uintah County, creating the dramatic geological features of the Dinosaur National Monument. The area is anchored by the world-famous Dinosaur Quarry, where prehistoric remains are preserved in stone. The river's winding course is accompanied by several significant drainages, including Brush Creek, Red Wash, and Cliff Creek, which have shaped the rugged topography of Split Mountain Canyon and Split Mountain Gorge Campground.

Tracing the movement of early travelers, the map shows Escalante Crossing and historical routes like Island Park Rd and Blue Mountain Rd. For genealogists, the Jensen Cemetery provides a specific point of local historical record. The landscape is a mix of protected canyon lands and rural infrastructure, including a network of numbered local roads such as 12000 E St and S 8500 E, reflecting the settlement patterns on the monument's edge.
