2013 Map of Hells Canyon

About this map

Dinosaur National Monument encompasses the majority of this landscape, where the Yampa River carves a deep path through the canyonlands of northwest Colorado. This 2013 survey illustrates a rugged intersection of federal protection and legacy ranching, with the Red Rock Ranch, Mantle Ranch, and Robinson Place situated amidst complex topography. High elevations are punctuated by landmarks such as Buena Vista Peak and Round Top Mountain, the latter featuring the Round Top Lookout. The map also captures the stark geological character of the region, identifying unique formations like The Billard Table, Katys Nipple, and Sand Canyon Arch. Water sources in this arid environment are carefully documented, from the seasonal The Slough and Bobcat Springs to the Red Rock Reservoir, which supports the sparse human activity in the area.
