About this map

Bobby Canyon and its surrounding drainages dominate this Grand County landscape, where deep erosional features define the land's movement toward the south. The complex network of the Tusher Canyon system, including Left Hand Tusher Canyon and Right Hand Tusher Canyon, illustrates the intricate geological layering of the region.

Signs of historical land use are sparse but significant, including several Prospects and a Drill Hole located near the junction of Coal Canyon and Stub Canyon, hinting at mineral exploration. Water sources were vital in this arid environment, as evidenced by the mapping of Cow Spring and Cottonwood Spring. The presence of Corrals in the southern reaches, accessible by 4wd tracks, suggests a history of livestock management in these canyon bottoms.
