2023 Map of Romero Canyon

About this map

Rio Grande waters dominate the eastern edge of this Sierra County landscape, where the river channel winds through the complex topography of The Narrows. This arid terrain is defined by a dense network of drainages and named arroyos, including San Jose Arroyo and the significant Romero Canyon which cuts across the central portion of the survey. The presence of Joe Pankey Reservoir Number 2 and South Tank suggests the importance of water management for local land use, likely ranching, in a region otherwise characterized by deep cuts like Chaunte Canyon and Gorbon Canyon Lumber Canyon.
