2014 Map of Jones Hole

About this map

The Green River carves through the heart of the Dinosaur National Monument in this survey of the high plateau region where the borders of Utah and Colorado meet. The landscape is defined by massive topographic relief, dominated by the towering heights of Diamond Mtn and Wild Mtn. The hydrology of the area is particularly distinct, with Jones Hole Cr fed by Jones Hole Springs and other water sources such as Hackings Springs and Burnt Springs providing rare moisture in an arid environment. Notable geological and navigational landmarks such as the Island Park Fault, the narrow descent of Diamond Gulch, and the intricate terrain of the Labyrinths highlight the complex erosion patterns of the Uintah and Moffat County borderlands. Access remains sparse, primarily via the Wild Mountain Rd and the Old Harpers Corner Rd, reflecting the wilderness character of the Whirlpool Canyon vicinity.
