About this map

Dinosaur National Monument dominates this high-altitude landscape, where the state line between Utah and Colorado meets the border of Uintah and Moffat Counties. This 2013 survey illustrates a region defined by high ridges and deep drainage systems, including Stuntz Ridge and the winding Sand Canyon. The map records a sparse but significant human presence tied to the land's ranching and mining heritage.

Remote outposts such as Chew Ranch and Harland Cabin represent the thin layer of settlement in this arid terrain, while names like Miners Draw point to the area's prospecting history. Water remains the critical factor for survival here, as seen in the isolated Stuntz Reservoir, the seasonal flow of South Fork Cub Creek, and the small catchment at Dudley Pond. High parks and draws, including Pearl Park and Mud Springs Draw, characterize the complex topography between the Park Service Road and the surrounding wilderness.
