2013 Map of Myers Canyon

About this map

Cedar Crest serves as the central focal point for this landscape where the boundaries of Pueblo, Huerfano, and Las Animas counties meet. The area is defined by a network of drainage systems and watering holes, including Plum Cr and Saunders Arroyo, which supported a long history of cattle ranching. Named homesteads and seasonal camps such as Knowlton Ranch, Spurlock Ranch, and Myers Camp are scattered across the terrain, indicating the historical settlement patterns of this high plains region. The presence of several large reservoirs, such as Railroad Fill Reservoir and Prairie Dog Reservoir, highlights the critical importance of water management in this arid environment. Elevation features like Blue Hill and the deep cuts of Robins Canyon and Lone Jack Canyon provide a topographical framework for the ranching operations and roadways like Co-10 that cross the plains.
