2011 Map of Photograph Gap

About this map

Photograph Gap serves as a focal point in this high-desert landscape, where the convergence of several unpaved routes like Seeps Rd and North Flats Rd underscores the area's importance for local transit. The terrain is defined by a series of deep drainage features, notably Harts Draw and Turner Water Canyon, which carve through the high plateaus of Harts Point and Peters Point. This map illustrates the vital role of scarce water sources in San Juan County, marked by the presence of Harts Spring and the aptly named The Seeps. The network of roads, including Sugar Loaf Rd and Sugar Seed Rd, suggests a landscape managed for ranching or resource access, connecting the broad expanses of Dry Valley to the surrounding ridges.
