About this map

Mancos Jim Butte and the surrounding high desert topography of San Juan County define this landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map shows a complex system of drainage and relief, with Cottonwood Wash and Johnson Creek cutting through the terrain. A portion of the Manti-LaSal National Forest occupies the northern half of the quadrangle, illustrating the boundary between protected lands and the public domain.

Geographical landmarks like the Bee Hives and Black Steer Knoll provide specific orientation points for those studying the area's natural features. The presence of the Blanding City Reservoirs in the southeast corner indicates the vital water infrastructure supporting nearby settlements. Local transit is represented by named routes such as Johnson Creek Rd and the Head of the Ditch, which follow the natural contours of Big Canyon and Brushy Basin.
