Grand Gulch and its complex system of tributaries dominate this high desert landscape in San Juan County. Remote and characterized by deep drainages, the area relies on scattered water sources such as Red House Spring, Collins Spring, and Bannister Spring. The topography reveals a dramatic verticality, particularly evident at The Narrows and the Clay Hills, where the land drops sharply into carved basins. Primitive transportation routes like Red Canyon Rd and Gulch Creek Rd provide the only significant access through these canyons. This 2017 survey details the intersection of several township lines, including t38s r15e and t39s r16e, highlighting a region where natural features like Redman Canyon and Steer Pasture Canyon dictate the movement of both water and travelers.
