2013 Map of Sieber Canyon

About this map

Arete Arch, Bulwark Arch, and Protractor Arch dominate the northeastern reaches of this landscape, marking a terrain defined by high mesas and deep drainage systems. The Little Dolores River carves through the southern portion of the quadrangle, joined by the complex erosion of Sieber Canyon and Toms Canyon. This 2013 survey illustrates a largely uninhabited and primitive expanse of Mesa County, where human presence is indicated only by remote routes such as A 2/10 Rd and B S Rd. The drainage network, including Twentyeight Hole Wash and Jones Canyon, showcases the intricate watershed patterns typical of the high desert plateau. Prominent landforms like Long Mesa and the aptly named Hells Hole emphasize the verticality and isolation of this region.
