2010 Map of Bradford Canyon

About this map

Three Kiva Pueblo stands as a significant landmark in this San Juan County landscape, situated near the eastern edge of the quadrangle where Montezuma Creek carves through its namesake Montezuma Canyon. This 2010 survey illustrates a high desert environment dominated by deep drainages and expansive plateaus, including Mustang Mesa and the prominent ridge of Alkali Point. The land is networked by a series of rural roads and tracks such as Perkins Rd and Dead Man Canyon Rd, which navigate around rugged breaks like Deadman Canyon and Bradford Canyon. Agricultural and pastoral infrastructure is sparse but present, evidenced by the Alkali Windmill located in the southwestern corner, providing a vital water source in this arid terrain. The map's detail helps trace the topography of the many small canyons, including Cave Canyon and Devil Canyon, that feed into the larger creek systems.
