2011 Map of Jacobs Chair

About this map

White Canyon Creek carves a deep path through this southeastern Utah landscape, providing a geographical anchor for historical transit routes. In the early 21st century, the area remains defined by its namesake landmark Jacobs Chair and several notable transit points along the drainage. Small settlements and waypoints like Soldier Crossing and Gravel Crossing mark where travelers and commerce historically navigated the drainage, while the presence of Radium King Rd hints at the region's mid-century uranium mining legacy. High plateaus and isolated landforms such as Wingate Mesa and Fry Point dominate the horizon, framing the deep incisions of Cowboy Canyon and Long Canyon. The small community at Fry Canyon serves as a lone outpost in this expansive high-desert terrain, positioned where the terrain transitions toward the rugged mesas of San Juan County.
