About this map

The Green River carves a massive sweeping curve through this northeastern Utah landscape, defining the transition between the protected lands of Dinosaur National Monument and the agricultural valley to the south. The settlement of Jensen serves as the local hub, situated near the intersection of S Highway 149 and Cliff Cr. This area is defined by the stark contrasts between the dramatic geology of Split Mtn and the working lands of the 3-1 Rocker Ranch Airport.

Evidence of historical passage and modern recreation is etched into the terrain, from the Escalante Crossing on the river to the Split Mountain Campground. The map details a complex network of ephemeral drainage systems including Stone Bridge Draw, Red Wash, and Orchid Draw, which segment the benches and canyons. Local history is anchored by sites like the Jensen Cem, while the rugged north is dominated by Split Mountain Canyon, where the river exits the high plateau.
