About this map

Big Indian Valley and the surrounding high desert of San Juan County are defined by a complex network of ephemeral washes and distinct geological markers in this 2014 survey. The landscape is characterized by prominent natural landmarks such as Casa Colorado Rock, White Rock, and the isolated Lopez Arch near the northern boundary. Settlement is concentrated around La Sal, while the region's industrial footprint is evidenced by the Lisbon Oil Field and the Far W Oil Wls near the northern margin.

Transportation through this arid terrain relies on a system of specialized routes including Lisbon Valley Rd and Peters Wash Rd, which navigate between deeply etched features like Spiller Canyon and Hatch Wash. The interplay of wide drainage systems like Dry Valley and Sandstone Draw reveals the hydrologic patterns that have shaped land use and resource extraction in this corner of southeastern Utah.
