1968 Map of Sieber Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Little Dolores River carves through this high-elevation landscape in western Mesa County, flanked by a complex system of deep drainage channels. The area is defined by the massive plateau of Long Mesa and the converging waters of Sieber Canyon and Toms Canyon. This late 1960s survey illustrates a rugged backcountry where transport is limited to a remote Jeep Trail, reflecting the isolation of the high desert before modern infrastructure reached these canyons. Human activity is sparse, marked primarily by a single Quarry and unnamed trails. The map tracks the winding paths of Knowles Canyon, Mee Canyon, and Jones Canyon as they cut through the rock, while Twenty-eight Hole Wash drains the eastern portion of the quadrangle near the boundary of the Colorado National Monument.
