“The studio expressed concern about the safety of filming Cruise's entrance scene, in which he is free solo climbing at Dead Horse Point State Park in Moab, Utah.”

Named here by Moab’s own Wikipedia article

Productions this page’s own Wikipedia article says were shot at Moab, where neither Wikidata nor the production’s own article records it. That is the weakest evidence on this atlas, so these get no pin on the map and stay out of the downloads — the sentence is quoted in full below each one so you can judge it.

Stagecoach 1939

“Ford had been using the area in Monument Valley around Mexican Hat, Utah, south of Moab, since he filmed Stagecoach there 10 years earlier in 1939.” Wikipedia
