2017 Map of Dark Canyon
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
Dark Canyon and its network of drainage systems define this Chaves County landscape, where deep topographic contours reveal a complex pattern of erosion and water management. Water features are sparse in this arid terrain, marked by Dagger Lake and seasonal flows like Crooked Cr and Squaw Cr. The map captures a transition between different canyon environments, from the broad Monument Canyon in the northeast to the more confined Horse Canyon and Challenge Canyon further south.
