About this map

Dinosaur National Monument occupies the central portion of this Colorado landscape, where the Yampa River carves a deep path through the high desert terrain. The map reveals a complex network of canyons and drainages, such as Thanksgiving Gorge and Dry Woman Canyon, which highlight the erosional history of the region. Local nomenclature like Iron Mine Basin and Tepee Hole points to the early mining and cultural history of Moffat County.

Resource access is marked by several established routes, including Bear Valley Rd and Co RD 14n, which cross the high plateaus of Bear Valley Ridge. Water sources, critical in this arid environment, are documented at Bear Valley Spring and along Wolf Cr. The topographical variety is further illustrated by features like Lake Bench and West Cactus Flat, providing a detailed look at the land's surface before more recent environmental changes.
