2016 Map of Champagne Spring

About this map

Champagne Spring and the surrounding high desert canyonlands of Montezuma and Dolores counties are meticulously documented in this modern survey. The terrain is defined by a series of dramatic geographic features, including Squaw Canyon, Cahone Canyon, and Monument Canyon, which carve through the plateau. Local landmarks such as Bug Point, McCloud Point, and Cedar Point serve as prominent navigational markers above the deep drainages. Water management and drainage patterns are central to the landscape, evidenced by the Dove Cr Canal and the course of Dove Cr. This map illustrates the transition from the relatively flat agricultural or rangeland mesa tops, gridded by a network of county roads like Co RD K and Co RD M, to the complex topographic relief of Alkali Draw and Cross Canyon.
