About this map

Cahone serves as the focal point of this mid-1960s survey, situated along the primary corridor of U.S. 160. The landscape is defined by an intricate drainage system where numerous deep cuts like Cross Canyon, Sharp Canyon, and Alkali Canyon carve through the plateau. This era shows the community infrastructure in detail, including the Cahone Sch and Cahone Ch, located near a local Cem.

A Pipeline and a Gravel Pit indicate the local industrial and utility footprint of the time. The northeastern portion of the map transition into the San Juan National Forest, while the southern reaches capture the boundary between Dolores and Montezuma Counties. The topography is particularly striking where Cahone Canyon and Little Cahone Canyon converge, illustrating the erosive patterns that characterize this part of the Colorado high country.
