2020 Map of Fry Spring

About this map

Red Rock Plateau defines the landscape of this high-desert region in San Juan County, where deep drainages and flat-topped mesas reflect the complex geology of southeastern Utah. The topography is dominated by dramatic canyon systems, including the North Fork Red Canyon and South Fork Red Canyon, which converge toward the western edge of the sheet. Higher elevations are marked by distinctive landmarks such as Moss Back and the isolated heights of the Tables of the Sun. Access through this remote terrain is primarily limited to rugged corridors like Radium King Rd and Moss Back Rd, which trace the contours of the plateaus. Notable water sources are rare in this arid environment, making features like Fry Spring in the northeast and tucked-away basins like Bullseye Canyon significant markers for those navigating the backcountry.
