2017 Map of Dragon
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
Dragon sits at the heart of this high-elevation landscape on the border of Utah and Colorado, where the arid topography is defined by deep incisions like Park Canyon and Dragon Canyon. The settlement is closely tied to its environment, situated near the headwaters of Evacuation Creek and Missouri Cr. This 2017 survey reveals a region dominated by relief features, including the prominent White Face Butte to the southeast and the looming profile of Rabbit Mtn on the northeastern state line. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Dragon Cem positioned north of the townsite, a quiet waypoint along Dragon Canyon Rd. The map also traces the winding courses of Texas Cr and various ridgelines such as Rector Ridge, providing a detailed look at the corridor connecting Uintah County to Rio Blanco County.
