2017 Map of Trough Springs Canyon

About this map

Trough Springs Canyon and the surrounding high desert mesas define this section of San Juan County, illustrating the complex drainage systems that feed toward the Colorado River corridor. The map highlights a network of primitive routes and modern recreational paths, including the curious 24-Hours of Moab trail and the long-established Behind the Rocks Rd. These paths navigate between prominent geological formations like The Wine Glass and the sheer drops of the Hunter Canyon Rim. High points such as Hatch Point and Hurrah Pass provide critical orientation points in a landscape where water is scarce, marked only by isolated features like Trough Spring and the seasonal flow of Kane Springs Cr.
