About this map

Ducket Crossing anchors the northeastern corner of this San Juan County landscape, marking a vital point along White Canyon Creek. The terrain is defined by a series of dramatic geographic features, including the deep cuts of Manon Canyon and Blue Canyon to the west, and Short Canyon to the east. Remote access through this high desert environment is facilitated primarily by Red Canyon Rd, which winds through the southern and western portions of the quadrangle. Sparse water sources are critical landmarks in this arid region, with Cold Water Spring, Dripping Spring, and Pocket Spring providing essential reference points. Piute Pass serves as a natural corridor through the elevated plateaus, reflecting the traditional routes of movement through this part of southern Utah.
