About this map

Pleasant View stands as a focal point in this portion of Montezuma County, situated at the intersection of Us-491 and Co Road CC. The landscape is defined by a series of dramatic drainages that cut through the high plateau, including Hovenweep Canyon, Sandstone Canyon, and Ruin Canyon. These natural features suggest a terrain historically shaped by deep water-cut reliefs, contrasting with the organized grid of county roads like Co Road BB and Co Road Z that facilitate modern agricultural and residential access.

Water management is evident through the engineered paths of the South Canal and Dove Cr Canal, which navigate the contours of the land to support the region's ranching or farming needs. To the north and south, deeper features such as Cahone Canyon and Woods Canyon carve into the earth, providing a clear view of the geological character of the Four Corners region as it appeared in the early 21st century.
