Flag in 2004

image located by Ethan Dubrow, 9 July 2024

I found an old San Juan Record newspaper from December 29th 2004 with a black and white photograph of the county flag. No details are given because the flag was not the focus of the article. The flag has a giant circle centered on a dark background, and the circle has a bunch of little illustrations inside it. "SAN JUAN COUNTY" and "UTAH" are written around the top and bottom of the circle respectively; the font used is called Stencil.

The flag was designed by Stormy Palmer of Blanding and adopted in 2004. It is possible this flag is not used anymore, as the commission appears to only use the national, state, and Navajo flags.

Flag in 1981

image located by Ethan Dubrow, 9 July 2024

There is record of an even older San Juan County flag from a San Juan Record newspaper on September 10th, 1981. The flag was stitched by Marcia Redd but the design itself was created by Kit Stevens. There's more info from the source, but to summarize, the flag displays a silhouette of San Juan County (with some extra little drawings on it) superimposed on an unnamed Indian symbol, all on a "dark rust" background. There's an escroll with the county motto under everything else.

"Proclaiming San Juan as a "Land with a Future", the official county flag flies in County Square on the lawn in front of the administration building on the Utah State fair grounds.
Designed by Kit Stevens and stitched by Marcia Redd, both of Monticello, the flag displays the form of the county superimposed on an Indian symbol. The Indian symbol is a circle divided by six lines, four of which represent the directions north, south, east and west. The two remaining lines are for the directions up and down. The symbol, relatively common in Indian rock art, can be seen at Newspaper Rock State Park on the road to Canyonlands National Park. Illustrations of a pick and ax to represent mining, Angel Arch for scenic beauty, a derrick for the oil and gas industry, grain for agriculture and an Indian for the Navajo Indian Reservation adorn the flag.
The dark rust background used for the flag was chosen because of the sandstone rock formations and red [soils?] for which the county is well known. Dark green bands serving as a field for the motto and the county name represent the forests of San Juan's mountains and high country. Lake Powell and the Colorado and San Juan rivers are blue.
Marcia, who said it took her 20 hours to stitch the flag, says she used polyester-blend broadcloth to retard fading."
