About this map

Green River carves a deep path through the southern half of this quadrangle, defining the dramatic topography of Whirlpool Canyon within the Dinosaur National Monument. The landscape is dominated by high plateaus and complex drainage systems, including Diamond Mtn and Hardscrabble Mtn. A significant human imprint on this wilderness is the Jones Hole National Fish Hatchery, situated near the headwaters of Jones Hole Cr and the Jones Hole Springs.

Transportation in this high-altitude terrain is limited to specialized routes such as Jones Hole Rd and the Ruple To Ely Trail. The map documents the intersection of state boundaries, where Uintah County, Utah, meets Moffat County, Colorado. Factual details like the Harpers Corner Trail leading to Harpers Corner provide specific points of interest for those studying the recreational and administrative history of this protected canyon country.
