Basin Mountain and the high plateaus of southwest Colorado dominate this landscape, where the terrain is deeply incised by a series of drainage systems like Wildcat Canyon and La Posta Canyon. The small settlement of La Posta sits near the southern edge, situated along the Animas River corridor. This area showcases a sophisticated network of water management, evidenced by the Citizens Animas Ditch and several named catchments including Sullivan Reservoir and Goat Canyon Reservoir.
