About this map

Bridger Jack Mesa dominates the southern landscape of this 2017 survey in San Juan County, illustrating the intricate network of canyons and mesas that define this corner of Utah. The terrain is deeply carved by Indian Cr and its tributaries, including Lavender Cr and N Cottonwood Cr. This topographic record highlights how modern transportation, such as Federal Rte 2444, follows the natural drainage paths between high-elevation landmarks like Harts Point and The Island.

Beyond the major watercourses, the map identifies numerous secondary landforms including Titus Canyon, Donnelly Canyon, and Shay Canyon. For local historians and researchers, the naming of access routes like Beef Basin Rd and Lavender Creek Road provides insight into the historic cattle and resource corridors through the canyonlands, while Dugout Reservoir indicates specific points of water management in a high-desert environment.
