2020 Map of Papoose Canyon

About this map

Papoose Canyon and its network of winding drainages define this high-desert landscape along the Colorado-Utah state line. This modern survey illustrates the complex topography of the Four Corners region, where mesa tops like Tin Cup Mesa and Squaw Point are dissected by narrow, steep-walled corridors such as Nancy Patterson Canyon and Mares Tail Canyon. The map reveals a rugged land primarily defined by its hydrology and relief, with named features such as Tucker Spring providing rare water sources in an otherwise arid environment.
