2017 Map of Valley City

About this map

Valley City occupies a central position in this arid Grand County landscape, defined by the drainage systems of Thompson Wash and Crescent Wash. The area showcases a complex history of resource extraction and transit, evidenced by the proximity of Copper Mine Ridge and several water management features like the Valley City Reservoir. To the south, the terrain transitions into the Blue Hills and the expansive Mancos Desert W, where the historic Moab to Boulder Town route traverses the desert floor. This 2017 survey details the infrastructure supporting modern aviation at Canyonlands Field while preserving names of older landmarks like Crystal Spring and the Rock Corral Reservoir. The presence of named tracks such as Dubinky Well Rd and Blue Hills Rd highlights the network of backcountry access points that cut through the canyon country and the Klondike Flat.
