2020 Map of Bobby Canyon South

About this map

Book Cliffs dominate the southern edge of this Grand County landscape, where the high desert plateau breaks into a complex system of drainages and level-topped benches. The network of seasonal water sources, including Cottonwood Spring and Cow Spring, supported early ranching and transit through this arid stretch of the Gunnison Valley. Local nomenclature reveals a history of land use, with features such as Winter Camp Canyon and Tusher Bench suggesting the movement of livestock between the lowlands and the higher elevations of Bobby Canyon. Centered on t20.5s r18e, the map details a topography defined by steep descents from Blaze Canyon Bench into the branching paths of Middle Horse Canyon and Right Hand Horse Canyon.
