2010 Map of Dennis Canyon

About this map

Mesa de Maya dominates this southern Colorado landscape, where the high tablelands are dissected by a complex network of canyons and intermittent watercourses. The drainage patterns of West Carrizo Creek and Middle Water Creek define the topography, carving deep into the volcanic and sedimentary layers of Middle Mesa and Black Mesa. This area is characterized by its isolation and the persistence of traditional land use patterns, as evidenced by the series of county roads like County Rd 10.8 that navigate the varied elevations.
