2014 Map of Montezuma Creek

About this map

Montezuma Creek and the surrounding San Juan Valley define this landscape along the San Juan River in southeastern Utah. The area is characterized by an intersection of natural features and industrial development, most notably the Aneth Oil Field which occupies the central plateau. High elevation landmarks like McCracken Mesa and Gray Ridge overlook a network of water sources including Hot Spring, Touchee Spring, and Blueberry Spring. The terrain is deeply incised by several named canyons, such as Black Rock Canyon and Bucket Canyon. Local infrastructure is visible through a complex system of county and state roads like Texaco Rd and Red Mesa Rd, which support the regional energy and agricultural activity concentrated near the river corridor.
