2019 Map of Howard Canyon

About this map

Grand Valley in Garfield County is defined by a complex network of drainage systems and high-altitude canyons as they appeared in 2019. The landscape is dominated by the north-south transit corridor of Douglas Pass Rd, which follows the contours of the terrain alongside E Salt Cr. This remote area of western Colorado shows a distinct pattern of land management through various township and range divisions, including t7s r103w and t7s r102w. Numerous named canyons like Howard Canyon, Demaree Canyon, and Spink Canyon illustrate the erosional history of the plateau, while smaller waterways such as Munger Cr feed into the larger valley system. This topographic record is essential for understanding the connectivity of mountain passes and the hydraulic layout of the region before further modern developments.
