2017 Map of Dugout Canyon

About this map

The San Andres Mountains dominate the eastern edge of this Sierra County landscape, where steep contours give way to the more gradual slopes of the Dugout Canyon system. This arid region is defined by its water management infrastructure, essential for ranching and land use in the high desert. A network of named catchments, including Rabbit Tank, Johnson Tank, and Marys Tank, are scattered across the terrain, indicating the critical nature of water storage for the local economy and ecology.
