2023 Map of Harts Point South

About this map

Bridger Jack Mesa and Harts Point dominate this high-desert landscape in San Juan County, where complex drainage systems and plateau formations define the area. The map illustrates a network of deep incisions including Donnelly Canyon, Shay Canyon, and Titus Canyon, all feeding into the prominent Indian Creek corridor. This particular quadrangle is notable for its concentration of named backcountry routes such as Beef Basin Rd and Bridger Jack Rd, which navigate the difficult terrain alongside Federal Rte 2444. To the west, Lavender Canyon and Lavender Creek reveal the intricate topography of the canyonlands, while The Island stands as a distinct geological feature above the creek bed. The detail of the 2023 survey provides essential context for modern land use and historical transit across these mesas.
