2023 Map of Split Mountain

About this map

Dinosaur National Monument dominates this portion of Uintah County, where the Green River carves a winding path through the dramatic geological formations of Split Mountain Canyon. The map details the transition from the river's high-energy water features, such as Moonshine Rapids and S O B Rapids, to the high plateaus of Ruple Point and the Yampa Plateau. Cultural history is anchored by the Josie Morris Cabin near the mouth of Hog Canyon, a site connected by Chew Ranch Rd and Blue Mountain Road. The landscape is a network of deep drainages like Horse Trail Canyon and Mitten Canyon, which feed into the central river system. Local landmarks such as Little Rainbow Park and Placer Point provide specific reference points for researchers interested in the area's homesteading and recreational footprint.
