2020 Map of Nichols Canyon

About this map

The Gila River cuts through this high desert region of Grant County, creating dramatic topographic shifts such as the Gila Lower Box and Box Canyon. This 2020 survey illustrates a landscape defined by its drainages and water management features, including Mesa Tank and Nichols Spring. The terrain is characterized by massive formations like Redrock Mesa and the volcanic prominence of Black Mtn, while several named canyons like Nichols Canyon and Corral Canyon draw inward toward the river basin.
