About this map

The Green River meanders through this landscape, carving deep into the geological formations of Dinosaur National Monument and Split Mountain Canyon. This 2017 survey highlights the proximity of the iconic Dinosaur Quarry to the small settlement of Jensen, where the Jensen Cem and local road networks like S 9500 E serve the resident community. The map illustrates a transition from the preserved fossil beds and interpretive paths, such as the Fossil Discovery Trail and Sound of Silence Trail, to the active ranching and infrastructure of the valley floor.

Transportation and utility routes are prominent, including the 3-I Rocker Ranch Airport and the Gas Pipeline Rd. The surrounding terrain is defined by dry washes and canyons, notably Orchid Draw and Bean Draw, which drain toward the river. For researchers, the map provides precise locations for named landmarks like Split Mtn and identifies the specific township boundaries, such as t4s r23e, that structure this part of Uintah County.
