1993 Map of Doe Canyon

About this map

The Dolores River carves a deep path through this southwestern Colorado landscape, serving as a focal point for both natural preservation and local water management. The area is defined by the high mesa country of the San Juan National Forest and the Dolores River State Wildlife Area, where numerous draws and canyons like Doe Canyon and Narraguinnepp Canyon converge toward the river valley. The infrastructure of the early 1990s is visible in the scattered Gas Well and Drill Hole locations, alongside a series of small water catchments including Lake Clydia Reservoir and Lone Dome Reservoir. Recreational development is evident along the river corridor at the Bradfield Recreation Site and Cabin Canyon Recreation Site, near the historic crossing at Bradfield Bridge. The map also illustrates the transition between Dolores and Montezuma counties, marking a rugged terrain where land use is shared between industrial resource extraction and public forest land.
