2014 Map of Jacobs Chair

About this map

Fry Canyon anchors this high-desert landscape in San Juan County, where the seasonal drainage of White Canyon Cr cuts through ancient sandstone layers. The terrain is defined by dramatic mesas and monoliths, including the towering Jacobs Chair and Wingate Mesa. Human activity is centered along Ut-95, which follows the contours of the canyon floor, connecting historic transit points like Soldier Crossing and Gravel Crossing. The presence of the Fry Canyon Field Airport and the winding Radium King Rd suggests the area's ongoing significance for regional aviation and access to the backcountry. To the east, landmarks such as Found Mesa and Fry Point overlook deep canyons, while Rock Spring provides a rare water source in an otherwise arid environment characterized by sheer drops and sprawling mesas like Moss Back and Fry Mesa.
