2022 Map of Mellen Hill

About this map

Dinosaur National Monument occupies the northern reaches of this Colorado landscape, where the high desert terrain transitions from the settlement of Dinosaur into a complex network of arid drainage systems. The map illustrates a rugged topography defined by significant elevation changes, notably at Mellen Hill and along the prominent Raven Ridge to the southwest. This area, straddling the border of Moffat and Rio Blanco counties, is characterized by its seasonal watercourses, including E Twin Wash, W Twin Wash, and the curiously named Stinking Water Cr.
