2016 Map of Egnar

About this map

Egnar serves as the central community in this 2016 survey, situated on the high plateau of Southwestern Colorado near the border of San Miguel Co and Dolores Co. The landscape is defined by deep incisions through the mesa, notably Bishop Canyon and Bush Canyon, which carve through the high-desert terrain. Critical water sources in this arid environment, such as Overall Spring and Bishop Canyon Spring, are clearly marked alongside named landmarks like Bishop Point and the curiously named The Spud Patch. The map reveals a systematic network of county roads, including Monticello Rd and Co Rd 7N, which connect isolated homesteads and ranching areas. Tracing these routes alongside drainages like Chico Cr and Bell Cr provides a clear view of how topography has dictated the development of transportation and settlement in the Paradox Basin region.
