Grand Valley defines this arid landscape of the high desert along the Utah-Colorado border. This modern survey illustrates a topography of deep washes and prominent ridges, most notably the namesake Harley Dome and the rising elevations of the Book Cliff Ridge Rd. The area is drained by seasonal watercourses including Westwater Cr and Sulphur Cr, which cut through the terrain south of the Coal Draw. Infrastructure in this sparsely populated region is dominated by transportation corridors and technical facilities, including the Westwater Airport and a network of arterial roads like Pechula Rd and the Mac Intyre Cutoff. The presence of the Railroad and Harley Dome Rd in the southeastern corner highlights the area's role as a transit link through the rugged backcountry of Grand County.
