2017 Map of Horsehead Point

About this map

Horsehead Point and Pearson Point define the high terrain of this San Juan County landscape, overlooking a complex system of drainages and mesas. The geography is dominated by the deep incisions of Montezuma Canyon, where Montezuma Cr flows southward, and the branching reaches of Coal Bed Canyon and Bigwater Canyon to the east. This 2017 survey details the remote cattle-country infrastructure of the region, including named locations such as Cedar Park and Table Top. While the area is largely defined by its natural topography, the map records the network of rural routes like Cactus Park Rd and Montezuma Creek Rd that navigate the varied elevations between the canyon floors and the lookout points of the southern Colorado Plateau.
