1965 Map of Doe Canyon

About this map

The Dolores River carves a deep path through Dolores Canyon in this mid-1960s survey of the high plateau region where the Colorado counties of Dolores and Montezuma meet. This landscape within the San Juan National Forest is defined by a complex network of canyons and high points, including Narraguinnepp Canyon and the prominent Ormiston Point. The area's water management is remarkably detailed, showing numerous small catchments like Doe Reseeding Reservoir, Lake Clydie Reservoir, and Ancil Reservoir scattered across the dry terrain to support local livestock and land reclamation efforts.
