About this map

Dinosaur National Monument encompasses a dramatic geological landscape where the Green River carves through deep canyons and creates isolated river islands. This 2017 survey highlights the remote character of northeastern Utah, focusing on the high plateaus of Diamond Mtn and the striking relief of Boone Ridge. The area is defined by its complex drainage systems, such as Diamond Gulch and Sixmile Draw, which feed into the river corridor.

Evidence of human movement and geological history are woven together, from the Wagon Road Bench to the visible line of the Island Park Fault. The map provides detailed placement of Island Park and its surrounding meadows, including Upper Meadow and Lower Meadow. This intersection of high desert benches and river bottomland is further marked by features like The White Sage Flats and the protective enclave of The Cove.
