2019 Map of Trimble Point

About this map

San Juan National Forest defines much of this landscape in Montezuma County, where the Dolores River feeds into the significant expansion of the McPhee Reservoir. The map reveals an intricate network of water management and irrigation, including the Dove Creek Canal, U Lateral, and numerous named reservoirs like Kuhlman Reservoir and Dunham Reservoir that support the high-desert environment. High points such as Trimble Point and Hoppe Point overlook a complex topography of drainages, including Yellow Jacket Canyon and Salter Canyon. The modern infrastructure for public access is well-documented through trails and routes like the Sage Hen Loop and the McPhee Overlook, which provide vantage points over the massive reservoir system and its carved canyon walls.
