2019 Map of Cahone

About this map

Cahone sits near the heart of this landscape, positioned along a network of county roads that traverse the high plateau between deeply incised drainage systems. The settlement is defined by its proximity to the head of Cahone Canyon, where the terrain begins its dramatic descent toward the southwest. This era of land management is marked by an extensive water storage system in the northeast, featuring the Mel Dalton Number One Reservoir, Sagebrush Number One Reservoir, and Dove Reservoir, all linked by the Dove Cr Canal. These features highlight the importance of irrigation and water control in this semi-arid region of Dolores County. To the south, the boundary between Dolores Co and Montezuma Co is delineated near Little Cahone Canyon, reflecting the administrative divisions of the Four Corners region.
