About this map

McPhee Reservoir dominates this landscape, having transformed the Dolores River valley into a center for water management and recreation within the San Juan National Forest. The engineering of the late 20th century is evident through McPhee Dam, the Dove Creek Canal, and the Great Cut Dike, which redirect water across the high plateau.

Evidence of earlier eras persists alongside these modern developments, notably the Old Railroad Grade winding through Bean Canyon. Topographical landmarks like Trimble Point and Hoppe Point overlook a network of stock trails, such as the McPhee Stock Trail, and numerous high-altitude water sources including Salter Canyon Spring and Campbell Reservoir. The map illustrates a shift from the historic timber and rail economy to modern resource management and public access at sites like the Beaver Creek Marina.
