About this map

Dinosaur National Mounument dominates the high-desert landscape across the border of Uintah and Moffat Counties, where the high plateaus of eastern Utah meet western Colorado. This 2016 survey highlights a region of significant elevation changes, from the heights of Ruple Point and Blue Mtn Plateau down into the intricate drainages of Moonshine Draw and Sand Canyon.

Water management in this arid environment is evidenced by Stuntz Reservoir and Dudley Pond, while the road and trail network, including the Canyon Overlook Trail and Harpers Corner, provides access to the overlook points above the Green River corridor. The map also traces historical cattle and land divisions, marked by Snow Ranch Rd and various backcountry loops like the Rock Quarry Loop, reflecting the region's transition from ranching to conservation and recreation.
