2013 Map of Bull Canyon

About this map

Indian Henrys Cabin and remote outposts like Wedding Bell Camp define this high-desert landscape where the border of Montrose and San Miguel counties meets. The terrain is a complex system of plateaus and drainages, notably Skein Mesa, Monogram Mesa, and the deep incision of Bull Canyon. Water management is evident through the presence of the Skein Mesa Reservoir and Monogram Mesa Reservoir, essential infrastructure in a region dominated by dry draws and seasonal springs like Cummings Spring. To the south, the Dolores River cuts through the canyon country, while landmarks such as Radium Mountain and Wedding Bell Mountain provide significant vertical relief. The map reveals a network of designated roads and truck routes, such as the Monogram Truck Rte, which historically supported mining and ranching operations across the benches and basins.
