2023 Map of Dawson
USGS Topo · Published 2023About this map
Dawson and its surroundings in Colfax County appear here along the corridor of the Vermejo River, framed by a complex network of named canyons and ridges. This modern survey illustrates the current footprint of the settlement and the Dawson Cem, a significant site for local history and genealogy. The landscape is defined by drainage patterns including Van Bremmer Creek and the sharp turn of the Vermejo River at Horseshoe Bend. To the east, Capitan Hill rises above the valley, flanked by Rail Canyon and Box Canyon. The mapping of access routes like Barus Rd and Rail Canyon Rd provides contemporary context for the canyons such as Coal Canyon and Stag Canyon that shaped the region's industrial and geological past.
