2020 Map of Turley

About this map

The San Juan River flows through the southern portion of this landscape, anchoring the small settlement of Turley. This high-desert terrain is defined by a dense network of canyons and natural formations, most notably several named arches including Little Delicate Arch, Pemada Canyon Arch, and Crow Canyon Arch. The topographic detail reveals a land shaped by water, with dozens of named springs such as Cash Spring, Bootlegger Spring, and Indian Spring tucked into the drainages of Hart Canyon and Alamo Canyon. Rising above the arroyos, landmarks like Hart Mtn and Slane Knob provide vertical relief in an area crisscrossed by access roads like Navajo Dam Rd. The presence of Burro Spring Bridge and numerous ranch-related tracks underscores the intersection of natural geography and the cattle-grazing or oil-and-gas infrastructure common to San Juan County.
