About this map

The Green River carves a deep path through the eastern Uintah County landscape, anchoring a region defined by its geological and paleontological significance. Within the boundaries of the Dinosaur National Monument, the Dinosaur Quarry serves as a focal point for researchers and visitors alike, surrounded by a network of paths including the Fossil Discovery Trail and the Sound Of Silence Trail. The terrain transitions from the high elevations of Split Mtn and the steep walls of Split Mountain Canyon to the alluvial flats where Brush Cr meets the main river channel.

Evidence of ranching and local infrastructure appears in the lower elevations, marked by the 3-I Rocker Ranch Airport and a grid of rural roads such as Quarry Entrance Rd and Blue Mountain Rd. For those tracing local heritage, the Jensen Cem is located in the southwestern portion of the map, situated near the confluence of Cliff Cr and the river, where the landscape opens into broader agricultural or grazing land.
