Guess the spot: Maps Edition

[Backcountry Post]

I thought it might be fun to do a Guess the spot thread but instead of posting photos, you post a screen shot from a map. Terrain View, Satellite View or Topo View. Feel free to blur/erase any names if they give too much info.

The BCP maps page is great at getting topo layers, sat and terrain. Check it out here: http://backcountrypost.com/map/

I'll kick it off with this one. Name the prominent feature, not just the river.

The Loop on the Colorado.

Yessir!

And I thought ashergrey was just being a smart-ass! LOL!

Right you are.

I am an insufferable map nerd. Here's one:

The Maze! Chocolate Drops on the left, Pictograph Fork center, Jasper Canyon right.

The Cheese and Raisin Hills! (not really sure, but I saw it on a map sometime and thought it would be a cool guess)

The Maze! Chocolate Drops on the left, Pictograph Fork center, Jasper Canyon right.

Gah, beat me to it! Pretty easily recognizable after you've stared at it in Google Earth dozens of times and then actually going there.

 

[Nick]

Hehe... I'm going to assume I was right and go ahead...

 

[uintahiker]

Upheaval Dome?

 

[Nick]

Upheaval Dome?

Nope.

 

[Udink]

Mexican Mountain, with both Black Boxes represented as well!

I found it on the map. Only see what the road is called. Poison Springs Wash.

Yep, the Dirty Devil River at the Poison Spring crossing. Your turn!
