2001 Map of Fable Valley

USGS Topo · Published 2004

About this map

The Dark Canyon Wilderness Study Area dominates this section of San Juan County, revealing an intricate landscape of canyons and plateaus as they appeared in the early 21st century. The map highlights the primitive character of the Monticello Ranger District within the Manti-La Sal National Forest. Topographic detail traces the descent from the Dark Canyon Plateau into the winding depths of Gypsum Canyon and Fable Valley. In the northern half, the high desert expanse of Beef Basin is defined by intermittent water sources like Homewater Spring and Stanley Spring, which were vital for cattle and wildlife in this arid environment. Ancient human presence is quietly noted in the naming of Ruin Canyon and Moki Spring, while the physical relief of the Sweet Alice Hills and House Park Butte provides clear landmarks for those navigating this portion of the Colorado Plateau.
