2001 Map of Woodenshoe Buttes

About this map

Woodenshoe Buttes and the deeply incised drainages of the Manti-La Sal National Forest dominate this landscape, which includes portions of the Dark Canyon Wilderness. In the early 21st century, this remote high-desert environment in San Juan County shows a network of 4WD tracks providing access to isolated landmarks such as The Hideout, The Toe, and The Heel. The map detail reveals the intersection of wilderness preservation and historical resource extraction, evidenced by scattered Corrals, Prospects, and an Adit near Woodenshoe Canyon. The southern edge of the sheet touches the Natural Bridges National Monument at White Canyon, while the northern reaches include the expansive Dry Mesa. This survey serves as a record of the area's physical geography before modern recreation pressures, marking essential water sources like Twin Springs and the distinct formation of the Bears Ears.
