About this map

The high-elevation ranching and mining country of San Juan County is detailed here, centered on the transition between the Manti-Lasal National Forest and the lower basin. La Sal and Old La Sal anchor the human geography, connected by the corridor of State Rte 46 and Ut-46. The landscape is deeply carved by drainage systems like Doe Canyon, Pole Canyon, and Pole Spring Canyon, which channel seasonal runoff toward La Sal Cr and Beaver Cr.

Tracing the development of the area reveals the importance of water management and resource extraction. Significant landmarks include the Snow Ball Mine and the Wilcox Reservoir, the latter situated near the junction of Wilcox Rd and Wilcox S. Small settlements such as Pine Ridge are surrounded by a network of local roads including N Stocks Rd and Deer Creek Rd, illustrating the dispersed nature of settlement in this part of southeastern Utah.
