2017 Map of Shannon Canyon
USGS Topo · Published 2017About this map
The San Andres Mountains dominate the eastern reaches of this Sierra County landscape, where the rugged topography drops away into a complex system of arid drainage basins and livestock infrastructure. Water management is the primary human footprint visible on the terrain, evidenced by a dense network of catchment points such as Adobe House Tank, Hardin Tank, and the Shannon Tanks. These features, along with Shannon Well, suggest a long-standing reliance on carefully maintained water sources for ranching in this high-desert environment.
