2014 Map of McCracken Spring

About this map

McCracken Mesa and the surrounding high desert terrain dominate this 2014 survey in San Juan County, Utah. The landscape is defined by its seasonal water sources and deep drainage systems, including the notable McCracken Spring and the winding course of Alkali Creek. The area is networked by several significant local thoroughfares such as Hatch Trading Post Rd and Ut-262, which suggest long-standing routes of trade and travel through the region. Significant landmarks like Bullpen Swale and Alkali Point provide essential orientation points within this complex topography. The map illustrates a high degree of reliance on traditional landmarks and established water seeps, like Alkali Seep, which have historically dictated movement and land use across the McCracken Canyon area.
