About this map

Sop Canyon and its many tributary drainages define this high-altitude landscape in San Juan County. This 2017 survey details the complex topography of the plateau, characterized by named rises such as Deerneck Mesa and Three Step Hill, alongside deep cuts like Iron Spring Canyon and Bear Trap Canyon. A critical water source, Sop Spring, is noted among the arid terrain, illustrating the sparse but vital hydrography of the region.

Remote access is provided by a network of county roads including Deer Neck Rd and Williamson Fork Rd, which traverse the ridgelines and summits. The map provides a clear look at the modern land management boundaries, including townships like t31s r25e, and identifies specific landmarks like Iron Canyon Point and Wild Horse Draw that are essential for navigating this expanse of the Colorado Plateau.
