Black
Dragon Wash features some of the most interesting Indian rock art on
the San Rafael Swell. The wash is named for the "Black Dragon," a
pictograph that resembles a winged dragon. The Black
Dragon Canyon is located near Green River. The canyon has
pictographs left by ancient Fremont Indians, who inhabited Emery
County from about 500 to 1300 AD.
They left considerable evidence of their occupation, including
campsites, stone granaries, and artwork painted (pictographs) or
carved (petroglyphs) on canyon walls. Black Dragon Canyon, just
north of Spotted Wolf Canyon, is named for one such pictograph which
resembles a large 'winged' reptile or pterodactyl. |
