About this map

Manti-La Sal National Forest dominates this high-elevation landscape, where the deeply incised drainages of the Dark Canyon Wilderness cut through the Dark Canyon Plateau. Revised by the USDA Forest Service just after the turn of the millennium, the map documents a terrain defined by isolation and natural landmarks, including the notable Natural Arches and the prominent Sweet Alice Hills.

Evidence of human activity is sparse but specific, marked by scattered water sources like Sweet Alice Spring and Cooper Spring, and isolated features such as a Drill Hole and a solitary Corral. The intricate canyon systems, such as Warren Canyon and Woodshoe Canyon, demonstrate the complex erosional patterns typical of this part of San Juan County, providing a high-resolution view of the wilderness area before modern digital mapping became the standard.
