About this map

The Mancos River Trading Post anchors the southwestern corner of this high-desert landscape in Montezuma County, where the Mancos River winds through the deep corridor of Mancos Canyon. This 2010 survey illustrates a region defined by its prominent landforms, including the vast Tanner Mesa and the distinct formation at Chimney Rock.

Surface water is a vital element of this arid terrain, marked by the presence of Tanner Reservoir, Wing Spring, and the seasonal paths of Navajo Wash and Chimney Rock Draw. The transportation network is primarily defined by routes through the mesa country, including Mancos Canyon Rd, Indian Rte 220, and Talk Rd, which facilitate movement between the rugged canyons and the higher elevations of Cowboy Mesa and Short Mesa.
