About this map

Elk Ridge and the Manti-La Sal National Forest define this high-elevation landscape within San Juan County. The terrain is characterized by dramatic shifts in elevation, moving from flat expanses like Dry Mesa and Babylon Pasture into the deep incisions of Dark Canyon and Hammond Canyon. Notable landmarks such as Kigalia Point and the twin peaks of Bears Ears serve as significant navigational markers in this remote area.

Water sources are scarce but precisely located, with Squaw Water Spring and Squaw Water-Hole providing vital points of reference for the cattlemen and travelers who once utilized the Kigalia Canyon Trail. The presence of Keystone Arch in Arch Canyon highlights the geological formations common to this part of southeastern Utah. This 2017 survey details a network of primitive roads and trails, including Woodenshoe Rd, that navigate the complex rimrock of E Texas Rim and W Rim Texas Canyon.
