2014 Map of Dutch John

About this map

Dutch John sits as a primary settlement within the Ashley National Forest, serving as a gateway to the massive Flaming Gorge Reservoir. This 2014 survey documents a landscape defined by dramatic elevation changes, from the sheer Blacktail Cliff to the high Dutch John Mtn. The infrastructure of the area is centered on water and recreation, featuring the Flaming Gorge Lodge and the Flaming Gorge Summer Home Area to the south. Transportation is anchored by US Hwy 191, which crosses the water via the Cart Creek Bridge. Nearby, the Dutch John Airport and various forest roads like Little Hole Rd and Goslin Mountain Rd provide access to the rugged plateaus of Alabama Flat and Dutch John Bench. The presence of the Greendale Canal and several isolated springs, such as Jarvies Spring, highlights the critical management of water in this high-desert environment.
