2017 Map of Snake John Reef

About this map

Snake John Reef and its prominent geological formations dominate this landscape at the intersection of the Utah and Colorado border. The area is defined by sharp topographic shifts, where the high elevations of Cliff Ridge and Stuntz Ridge give way to a network of drainage systems including Miners Draw and Buckwater Draw. In the southern portion of the quadrangle, the settlement of Dinosaur sits near the junction of major washes like Sand Spring Wash, illustrating how human activity in this arid region centers around the few navigable paths through the ridges. The map meticulously traces a series of unpaved routes such as Miners Draw Rd, K Ranch Rd, and Trail Creek Rd, which provide access to the remote canyons and draws of Daniels Canyon and Bull Canyon.
