Wrights Mesa and the outskirts of Norwood anchor this survey of the high plateau and canyon country in San Miguel County. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of water management, including the Gurley Ditch, Japanese Ditch, and Lilylands Canal, which feed numerous storage bodies like the Old City Reservoir and Burn Canyon Reservoir. This irrigation infrastructure supports the agricultural activity visible at Greager Flats and Goshorn Flats, contrasting with the steep descents into Mexican Canyon and Naturita Canyon.
