2016 Map of Myers Canyon

About this map

Cedar Crest serves as the central hub of this high-plains landscape, situated where the borders of Pueblo, Huerfano, and Las Animas counties converge. The terrain is defined by a dense network of water management features, including Log House Reservoir, Mayer Reservoir, and Railroad Fill Reservoir, indicating a landscape deeply tied to ranching or resource extraction requirements. Drainage patterns such as Plum Cr and Saunders Arroyo cut through the elevation, which rises toward landmarks like Blue Hill. The numerous springs, including Whiskey Spring and Oscar Spring, suggest a reliance on these isolated water sources for livestock or early settlement in a region marked by deep cuts like Madden Canyon and Lone Jack Canyon. This 2016 survey captures the persistent rural character of the Colorado borderlands.
