2014 Map of Jug Rock

About this map

Jug Rock stands as a primary landmark in this arid Grand County landscape, where deep drainages like Sevenmile Canyon and Tusher Canyon carve through high desert mesas. The terrain is defined by a network of expansive flats, including Bartlett Flat and Klondike Flat, which historically provided passage through this complex topography. Natural water sources are scarce, marked only by the occasional Brink Spring or the seasonal flow of Tenmile Wash. The presence of the Tusher Tunnel and the distinctive Determination Towers highlights a landscape where geology and early exploration intersected. This modern survey by the U.S. Geological Survey captures the corridor along Ut-313, illustrating the paths used to navigate between Lone Mesa and the surrounding canyon floors.
