2017 Map of Mount Linnaeus

About this map

Mount Linnaeus and the Abajo Mountains dominate this high-altitude landscape within the Manti-Lasal National Forest. This 2017 survey details a complex network of canyons and peaks, characterized by significant elevation changes from the Brushy Basin up to Bob Peak. The map reveals a land managed for both transit and resource access, marked by specialized routes like the Trough Canyon Trail (163) and the Chippean Canyon Trail (452). Water management is vital in this arid environment, evidenced by the Dry Wash Reservoir and Blue Cr Reservoir, alongside smaller water sources such as Bayles Spring and Jack Spring. These features, combined with high-country landmarks like Cliff Dwellers Pasture and Robertson Pasture, suggest a history of seasonal grazing and forest service activity throughout the northern San Juan County highlands.
