About this map

McPhee Reservoir dominates this landscape in Montezuma County, illustrating the extensive water management infrastructure of the Four Corners region. Formed by the McPhee Dam and reinforced by the Great Cut Dike, the reservoir provides a massive catchment for the Dolores River and feeds an intricate network of irrigation systems including the Dove Creek Canal, Moonlight Lateral, and Lone Pine Lateral.

The map reveals a high-desert environment utilized for both recreation and resource management. Recreational access is concentrated at the House Creek Recreation Area and Beaver Creek Marina, with specific sites like Sage Hen Fishing and Dry Canyon Fishing noted. Away from the main pool, the terrain is marked by numerous smaller upland stock ponds and catchments such as Hoppe Point Reservoir, Dunham Reservoir, and Kuhlman Reservoir, reflecting the historical ranching activity surrounding Trimble Point and Hoppe Point.
