2017 Map of Merrimac Butte

About this map

Merrimac Butte and Monitor Butte stand as prominent landmarks in this high desert landscape, characterized by complex geological formations and deep canyons. The area is defined by its extensive network of modern and historical routes, including the Moab to Boulder Town road and the Moab Canyon Path. Near the boundary of Arches National Park, the map reveals numerous natural spans such as Slickensides Arch, Uranium Arch, and Jacks Arch. The presence of Cotter Mine Rd and Dalton Well points to the region's history of mineral exploration and water management in an arid environment. Dramatic relief is found along Sevenmile Canyon and Courthouse Wash, while the sprawling Courthouse Pasture and Arths Pasture provide contrast to the surrounding ridges like Cedar Ridge and Deadman's Ridge.
