About this map

Dubinky Wash and the surrounding high desert of Grand County are defined by a complex network of deep drainages and prominent mesas in this late-1980s survey. The landscape is dominated by massive geographic features like Canyon Point and Deadman Point, while localized landmarks such as The Needles provide orientation in the arid terrain. For those researching land use and resource exploration, several locations are marked simply as Drill Hole, signifying the industrial or geological probing of the era.

Water sources are rare but critical on this sheet, identified at Dripping Spring, Deadman Spring, and Little Mountain Spring. These springs and the intermittent flow through Tenmile Canyon and Cow Canyon represent the lifeblood of this environment. The map also delineates a network of unimproved roads and a specific Trail through the northwest, highlighting the area's role as a site for ranching, recreation, or mineral exploration in the late twentieth century.
