2011 Map of Jones Hole

About this map

Green River carves a deep path through this section of Dinosaur National Monument, marking the convergence of complex geology and high-desert hydrology. The map traces the winding course of Jones Hole Creek as it descends from Jones Hole Springs toward the river, passing the Jones Hole Fish Hatchery. This remote landscape is defined by its dramatic elevation changes, from the heights of Wild Mountain and Hardscrabble Mountain down into the depths of Whirlpool Canyon. Evidence of early settlement and land use persists in labels for Snow Ranch and Chew Ranch, while topographic features like The White Sage Flats and Labyrinths suggest the challenging nature of the terrain. The presence of Park Service Rd and County Rd 156 provides the primary access to these isolated canyonlands and historic ranching sites.
