2011 Map of Long Tom Canyon

About this map

Corduroy Creek defines the drainage of this high-altitude landscape, carving its way through the central portion of the quadrangle. The terrain is marked by significant elevation changes, from the prominent Limestone Ridge and Snake Ridge to the deep recesses of Long Tom Canyon and Cedar Canyon. Strategic water sources appear throughout the dry terrain, including Long Tom Spring, Dripping Spring, and Little Spring, alongside man-made water storage such as Cedar Canyon Tank and Bull Pasture Tank. These features indicate the importance of water management in a region defined by its rugged canyons and named landforms like Bear Playground and Bull Canyon. The presence of highway infrastructure cutting through the canyon systems shows the modern integration of this traditionally remote landscape.
