About this map

Daltons Ranch sits on the western edge of this landscape, positioned where the drainage of Montezuma Canyon and Montezuma Creek carves through the high desert. This 2010 survey illustrates a complex network of mesa tops and deep incisions, dominated by the prominent elevations of Pearson Point and Horsehead Point. The map captures a topography defined by erosion, with numerous drainages like Bigwater Canyon and Coal Bed Canyon feeding into larger canyon systems.

Transportation through this isolated corner of San Juan County is marked by specialized routes such as Pearson and Horsehead, alongside the Horsehead Side Rd. The southeastern portion of the quadrangle opens into Cedar Park before dropping into the depths of Monument Canyon. This record is particularly valuable for understanding the remote ranching and access patterns within the rugged canyonlands of southeastern Utah.
