2013 Map of Uravan

About this map

The San Miguel River carves a deep path through this canyon landscape, where the settlement of Uravan sits at the northern edge of the map. This area is characterized by high, flat-topped features like Spring Creek Mesa and Wild Cow Mesa, separated by significant drainages such as Tabeguache Cr. The network of backroads, including Long Park Rd and AA18 Rd, provides access to remote locations like Long Park and the northeastern reaches of the Paradox Valley. These routes follow the natural contours of the mesas, avoiding the steep drops into Hieroglyphic Canyon and Box Canyon. Significant water sources in this arid environment are noted at Horsethief Spring and along E Paradox Cr, highlighting the essential landmarks for those navigating or surveying the high desert terrain of southwestern Colorado.
