About this map

Valley City sits at a geographic crossroads in Grand County, where the desert drainage of Thompson Wash meets the modern corridor of Us-191. The landscape is defined by its water management systems, essential for life in this arid region, featuring infrastructure like the Valley City Reservoir, Tenmile Wash Reservoir, and Rock Corral Reservoir. To the south, the Canyonlands Field Airport marks a significant point of human activity near the broad expanse of Klondike Flat.

The terrain transitions from the low-lying Salt Valley in the north toward the striking Blue Hills in the southwest. Local landmarks such as Levi Well and Crystal Spring indicate the critical importance of isolated water sources for ranching or transit. The map also delineates the extensive Tenmile Wash and Klondike Wash systems, illustrating how seasonal water flow has carved the topography of this high desert environment.
