About this map

Dolores Point and the high plateaus along the Colorado-Utah state line dominate this 2016 survey, where the Manti-Lasal National Forest covers much of the high-elevation terrain. The landscape is defined by deep incisions such as John Brown Canyon and North Cottonwood Canyon, which drain the massive S Beaver Mesa and Pine Ridge formations. In the southeastern portion of the map, the unique geological depression of Sinbad Valley is framed by the prominent Sinbad Ridge, illustrating the complex salt tectonics of the region.

Water sources are scarce but critical, marked by small features like Pace Lake and Willow Spring. Human presence is evidenced by primitive routes and recreation paths, most notably the Paradox Trail which traverses Taylor Flat and passes through Sallys Hollow. The map provides a detailed view of the township and range survey lines that divide this remote borderland, including Kirks Basin and the headwaters of Taylor Cr.
