About this map

Dyke and Nutria serve as focal points in this high-desert landscape of southwestern Colorado, situated along the drainage of Stollsteimer Creek. The map documents a rural transition where traditional landforms like Haystack Mountain and the high vantage of Broken Off Point overlook a modernizing network of residential roads such as Robbers Roost Rd and Carols Curves.

The southern portion of the quadrangle is defined by a series of deep drainages, including Hall Canyon, Lonetree Canyon, and West Kearns Canyon. These canyons dictate the movement of seasonal waters like Vega la Juana Creek and Cat Creek toward the smaller settlements of Altura and Kearns. The infrastructure shown, including County Rd-700 and Indian Rte 161, provides a detailed record of access to these remote canyonlands at the start of the 21st century.
