2017 Map of Raggy Canyon

About this map

The eastern slopes of the Henry Mountains dominate this Garfield County landscape, defined by a complex drainage network that flows toward the Colorado River system. Geologic landmarks and named catchments like Little Egypt and The Block highlight the unique erosion patterns of the Colorado Plateau. Water sources, vital in this arid environment, are specifically identified at Leclied Spring and Seep Wash, providing critical context for historical land use and livestock movement across Lone Cedar Flat. The map documents the intricate path of seasonal waterways such as Crescent Cr and Cottonwood Wash, alongside deep cuts like Poison Spring Canyon. These features illustrate the natural barriers and conduits that shaped travel and remote settlement in the High Desert during the early twenty-first century.
