2019 Map of Spring Canyon

About this map

Spring Canyon and its drainage network define this high plains landscape in eastern Colorado. The terrain is marked by the convergence of the North Fork Spring Canyon and the South Fork Spring Canyon, carving distinct coulees through the agricultural grid. To the south, the headwaters of N Sand Cr begin their seasonal flow across the prairie. A sparse but systematic network of section-line roads, including Co Rd 11 and Co Rd 6, provides access to the remote ranchlands of Yuma County. The map captures the enduring rural character of the region, where land use is dictated by the natural draws of the canyon systems and the vast, open intervals between them.
