2020 Map of East Fork Kutz Canyon

About this map

East Fork Kutz Canyon and its neighbor, West Fork Kutz Canyon, carve a complex drainage system through this high-altitude San Juan County landscape. The network of canyons is a defining physical characteristic, with several smaller waterways such as Creek 7100 feeding into the larger desert washes. Transport across this arid terrain relies on a sparse system of rural routes, including Rd 7150 and Co Rd 7175, which navigate the plateaus and canyon floors. The map details the Township and Range system across six distinct boundaries, including t27n r11w and t28n r10w, showing how the land was surveyed and partitioned for public and private use. The interplay between the deep canyon cuts and the modern road network illustrates the persistent challenge of navigating the high desert environment in northwestern New Mexico.
