2011 Map of Kyle Harrison Canyon

About this map

Kyle Harrison Canyon and the surrounding drainage of Arroyo Seco define this high-altitude landscape in the early twenty-first century. This survey records a transition from the rugged canyons of the south, where mining operations like Ajax Mine, Major Mine, and Red Wing Number Three Mine mark the slopes of Kelly Canyon, to a northern plateau dotted with seasonal water bodies. The presence of Fox and Fur Lodge and the remote outpost at Seven Cabins suggests a region utilized for recreation and ranching rather than dense settlement. Genealogists and local historians can locate Pleasant View Cemetery near Peachtree Canyon, while the numerous named basins such as Deep Lake and Cactus Flat Lake illustrate the vital importance of water catchments in this arid environment.
