2011 Map of San Juan Hill

About this map

San Juan Hill rises above a dramatic landscape shaped by the San Juan River and its intricate drainage network in southeastern Utah. This modern topographic record details the winding path of Chinle Creek as it meanders toward the river, cutting through the distinctive geological formations of Nokaito Bench and Lime Ridge. The map reveals the relationship between traditional natural crossings and modern access, with Comb Wash and Butler Wash providing structural orientation for backcountry travel. Notable landmarks such as the Mule Ear outcrop and the secluded Bogus Pocket provide specific points of interest for those studying the physical geography of the Shiprock Agency region. Infrastructure is represented by the Bluff Airport in the northeast and a network of county roads including Comb Ridge Rd and Chinle Creek Rd, which connect these remote desert features.
