About this map

Red House Spring and a series of high-desert water sources define the geography of this 2014 survey in San Juan County. The landscape is dominated by a complex network of deep drainages, including the prominent Grand Gulch and the intricate turns of Collins Canyon. These canyons cut through the high plateau, creating geological landmarks such as The Narrows and the Clay Hills.

Human activity is concentrated along a handful of backcountry routes, with Ut-276 serving as the primary corridor across the terrain. Secondary access is provided by unpaved paths like Red Canyon Rd and Collins Spring Rd. The distribution of named springs—including Bannister Spring and Big Pour Off Spring—suggests the critical importance of reliable water in this arid environment, providing essential points of reference for ranching and exploration in areas like Steer Pasture Canyon.
