About this map

Bridger Jack Mesa and the prominent uplift of Harts Point define this high-elevation landscape in San Juan County. The terrain is deeply incised by a network of drainages, most notably Indian Cr and Lavender Cr, which have carved out dramatic features like Lavender Canyon and the isolated plateau known as The Island. Access through this complex topography is limited to rugged corridors such as Beef Basin Rd and Lavender Creek Road, which follow the natural contours of the canyons.

Deep canyons including Titus Canyon, Donnelly Canyon, and Hog Canyon branch off the primary waterways, illustrating a drainage system that dominates the region's geography. To the south, Shay Canyon and the headwaters of N Cottonwood Cr mark the transition toward higher mountain slopes. This 2020 survey documents the modern state of these traditional cattle-grazing lands and back-country routes, preserving the nomenclature of the landforms that have long guided travel through this portion of southeastern Utah.
