2023 Map of Jacobs Chair

About this map

Fry Canyon serves as the primary focal point of this high-desert landscape in San Juan County, Utah. The settlement is positioned near the intersection of several deep drainage systems, including White Canyon Creek and the eponymous Fry Canyon. The topography is dominated by massive flat-topped landforms such as Wingate Mesa, Found Mesa, and Fry Mesa, which loom over the intricate network of canyons. The distinctive monolith of Jacobs Chair stands as a prominent landmark in the northern portion of the quadrangle. Transportation through this complex terrain follows established routes like Co RD 258 and the Fry Canyon Ruins Rd, the latter suggesting the presence of ancestral archaeological sites. Additional geographic features like Rock Spring and Fry Canyon Field indicate the sparse but essential water sources and clearings found within these sandstone corridors.
