About this map

Dutch John serves as the central hub of this Daggett County landscape, situated near the dramatic banks of the Flaming Gorge Reservoir. The terrain is defined by a series of named flats and benches, including Dutch John Flat and Dutch John Bench, which overlook the complex system of canyons and draws feeding into the Green River. Within the Ashley National Forest, the map details a network of early ranching and recreational infrastructure, notably the Swett Ranch and its associated Swett Ranch Ski Trail in the southwest.

Transportation and water management are critical themes here, evidenced by the Cart Creek Bridge spanning the water and the Greendale Canal cutting through the southern ridges. The presence of the Dutch John Airport and various forest roads like Antelope Flat Rd and Goslin Rd highlight the area's development for both resource management and outdoor access. Traces of the region's past are preserved in labels such as Lowline Historic, marking older routes across the high plateau.
