2020 Map of Canal Creek

About this map

The San Juan River flows across the southern portion of this landscape, carving a wide path through the high desert of the Four Corners region. This 2020 survey illustrates the remote borderlands between New Mexico and Colorado, where the San Juan County line meets Montezuma County. The terrain is marked by significant geological landmarks such as Standing Rock in the northeast and Volcano Peak further south. Water management and drainage are defined by the Shiprock Wash and Malpais Arroyo, which feed into the primary river valley. A network of service roads, including Pipe Line Rd and Indian Svc Rte 5030, provides the only modern infrastructure through the vast expanses of t32n r19w and surrounding townships, highlighting the intersection of industrial access and tribal land management in the Shiprock Agency area.
