2023 Map of Dragon

About this map

The settlement of Dragon occupies a narrow corridor in the high desert along the Utah-Colorado border, serving as a focal point for this 2023 survey of the eastern Uintah Basin. The landscape is defined by a series of steep drainages and prominent ridges, including Rector Ridge and Atchee Ridge, which channel seasonal water through Evacuation Creek and Missouri Creek. Genealogists and local historians will find the Dragon Cem located just south of the main settlement area, providing a primary point of reference for the former mining community. The terrain rises sharply toward the northeast corner of the sheet at Rabbit Mtn, while the southern reaches are marked by the distinct White Face Butte. Access to the interior is limited to a few named routes like Dragon Rd and Country Boy Rd, reflecting the sparse, utilitarian road network of this borderland region.
