2011 Map of Miners Peak

About this map

Miners Peak rises from a landscape defined by dramatic geological formations and remote ranchland in southeastern Colorado. The map reveals a drainage system where Chacuaco Creek and Tobe Creek have carved deep paths, including Chacuaco Canyon and Tobe Canyon, into the high plains. This area is dominated by the expansive Mesa De Maya, a significant landform that stretches across the southern portion of the sheet. Human presence is sparse, centered on the Mesa De Maya Ranch and the winding path of County Rd 157.9. To the south, the Salazar Rincon provides a notable break in the terrain, illustrating the complex erosion patterns that characterize this high-altitude environment. The map captures a moment of modern ranching life within a geography that remains largely dictated by its canyons and mesas.
