2022 Map of Pinkerton Mesa

About this map

Pinkerton Mesa anchors this high-desert landscape in La Plata County, where a complex network of seasonal drainages and named canyons defines the terrain. The presence of Soda Springs within Soda Springs Canyon indicates a vital historical water source for the region's inhabitants and livestock. To the south, topographic prominence is found at North Cinder Butte and the Cinder Bluffs, while flatlands like Orrie Walker Flat and Cow Flat suggest areas suitable for grazing or early settlement. Named landmarks such as Clyde Walker Canyon and Price Walters Canyon provide genealogical clues to the families who established themselves in this arid corner of Colorado. Transportation is primarily facilitated by primitive routes and county roads, including Co RD 138 and the extensive Indian Rte 111, which navigate through features like Long Hollow and Valencia Canyon.
