2022 Map of Basin Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 2022

About this map

Ridges Basin serves as the central focal point of this terrain south of Durango, where the landscape is defined by a series of dramatic canyons and high ridges. The Animas River flows through the southeastern corner of the map, accompanied by the Citizens Animas Ditch, reflecting the long-standing agricultural water management systems vital to La Posta. The area's complex topography is marked by notable heights like Basin Mtn and Bridge Timber Mtn, which overlook a network of drainage features including Wildcat Canyon and Goat Canyon. Numerous reservoirs, such as Herrera Reservoir, Montoya Reservoir, and Dads Reservoir, are tucked into the drainages of McCullogh Canyon and Sawmill Canyon, illustrating the reliance on catchment for ranching or irrigation in this arid upland environment.
