About this map

Big Indian Valley and the surrounding high desert plateau dominate this 2010 geographic study of southeastern Utah. The landscape is defined by the intersection of industrial activity and topographical landmarks, where Lisbon Valley Rd and Big Indian Rd provide access to remote resource extraction sites. Mineral exploration is centered at the Louise Mine in the west and the Cub Mine to the southeast, illustrating the persistent mining economy of San Juan County.

Drainage systems like Coyote Wash and Big Indian Wash carve through the arid terrain, which is punctuated by dramatic elevations including Middle Mesa and the prominent Three Step Hill. Water sources are sparse but notable, with Huntley Spring located at the edge of Lisbon Canyon. The network of spur roads, including the West Lisbon Spu and East Lisbon Spu, reveals the infrastructure required to navigate the canyons and valleys of this mineral-rich region.
