About this map

The San Juan River flows through the southern reach of this San Juan County landscape, where the small settlement of Turley is situated near the junction of several county roads. The terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages, including Hart Canyon, Crow Canyon, and Mansfield Canyon, which carve through the high mesas. This topography is notable for its natural spans and landmarks, such as Little Delicate Arch, Pemada Canyon Arch, and the prominent Bonnie Rock near Navajo Dam Rd.

Springs are scattered throughout the canyons, providing vital water points in an otherwise arid environment, including Indian Spring, Mud Spring, and Alamo Spring. To the north, Hart Mtn rises above the surrounding plateaus, while smaller features like Slane Knob and the Burro Spring Bridge highlight the specific local geography and early access routes that historically connected these remote New Mexico canyonlands.
