2020 Map of Shafer Basin

About this map

Industrial potash mining and the deep desert canyons of the Colorado River define this corner of San Juan County. The landscape is dominated by the Texas Gulf Potash Ponds, high-altitude evaporation basins that contrast with the surrounding red rock. These facilities are accessed by the winding Potash Road, which follows the contours of the canyon rims above Shafer Basin.
