2019 Map of Basin Mountain

About this map

Durango anchors the northeastern corner of this 2019 survey, where the Animas River flows southward through the Colorado landscape. The terrain is defined by a series of dramatic geographic features, from the heights of Basin Mtn and Bridge Timber Mtn to the deeply carved drainage of Wildcat Canyon and McCullough Canyon. The presence of several localized water management features, such as McCullough Reservoir, Dads Reservoir, and the Citizens Animas Ditch, suggests a complex history of irrigation and resource management in this high-elevation environment.
