About this map

Dinosaur National Monument encompasses the heart of this landscape, where the Green River carves a dramatic path through the geologic structures of northeastern Utah. The river serves as the primary axis for activity, connecting recreational points such as Split Mountain Landing and the Green River Campground with historical agricultural sites like Daniels Ranch. The topography is defined by significant elevations and depressions, from the heights of the Yampa Plateau and Split Mountain down into Moonshine Draw and Docs Valley.

Evidence of the region's ranching heritage is visible at Morris Ranch, while the area's complex natural history is noted through features like the Island Park Fault and various water sources including Warm Springs and Elder Spring. Transportation is limited to a few rugged corridors, primarily Blue Mountain Rd and Chew Ranch Rd, which provide access to the remote backcountry and the riparian environment of the river corridor.
