About this map

San Juan National Forest covers the majority of this landscape in Montezuma County, where a complex network of canyons and upland water management defines the local geography. The area around Boggy Draw is marked by numerous small-scale water projects, including the Phoneline Reservoir, Sawmill Reservoir, and Divide Reservoir, which speak to the region's historical reliance on managed water resources for livestock and forestry. Evidence of local industry is preserved with the labeling of Rusts Sawmill, situated south of Bean Canyon.

Recreational and utility access is prominent throughout the terrain, documented by the Boggy Draw OHV Trail 194 and the Little Bean Canyon Trail 198. The southeastern edge is bounded by the modern corridor of State Hwy 145 near Spruce Water Canyon, while the western margin reveals the inlet of McPhee Reservoir. Deep relief is found in Trail Canyon and Little Bean Canyon, providing a detailed look at the drainage patterns of the Colorado plateau during the early 21st century.
