2017 Map of Ouray

About this map

The confluence of three significant western waterways—the Green River, White River, and Duchesne River—forms the heart of this landscape at Ouray. This area, situated within the Uinta Valley, is defined by its complex riparian geography and expansive river bottomlands. Detailed topographic contours illustrate the transition from the low-lying Tia Juana Bottom and Old Charley Wash to elevated landforms like the Leland Bench to the northwest. The presence of seasonal drainages such as Willow Cr, Uteland Butte Wash, and Pariette Draw underscores the arid basin environment surrounding the river systems. Local transport is represented by several secondary routes, including Wyasket Bottom Rd and Wonsits Rd, which navigate the shifts in elevation between the fertile river valleys and the higher desert plateaus.
