The San Juan River carves a deep, serpentine path through the desert landscape of southern Utah, defining the geography of the Mexican Hat settlement and the broader San Juan Valley. This 2020 map documents the dramatic geological formations of the region, from the iconic Mexican Hat Rock to the jagged spires of the Valley of the Gods. The river itself is punctuated by Gypsum Creek Rapids and flows through the steep-walled San Juan Canyon, creating a landscape shaped by water and time.
