2013 Map of Dolores West

About this map

The agricultural and desert transition of Montezuma County is captured here, centered on the unincorporated community of Lebanon and the northern outskirts of Cortez. This landscape is defined by its complex irrigation infrastructure, including the Main Canal Number 2 and various laterals such as the Upper Hermana Lateral and Moonlight Lateral, which distribute water from the massive McPhee Reservoir and Narraquinnep Reservoir to the surrounding high-desert plains. To the east, the terrain rises into the San Juan National Forest, featuring the distinct topography of Haycamp Mesa and the drainage of Lost Canyon.
