2001 Map of Shay Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 2004

About this map

Newspaper Rock National Historic Site stands as a focal point in the northeast corner of this high-elevation terrain, where Indian Creek flows through deep canyons. The landscape is dominated by the massive rise of the Abajo Mountains, reaching its peak at Shay Mountain. This 2001 revision illustrates the land management patterns of the Manti-La Sal National Forest, including numerous protraction blocks and high-altitude features like Spring Lake and the Robertson Pasture area. Evidence of early land use and antiquity is grounded in labels for Ruins and a Corral near the headwaters of North Cottonwood Creek. The map details a complex drainage system where Titus Canyon and Shay Canyon carve through Shay Mesa, revealing the intricate topography that has long dictated movement and settlement in this corner of San Juan County.
