2016 Map of Turkey Canyon

About this map

The Purgatoire River carves a winding path through this portion of Colorado, defining a landscape of deep canyons and seasonal drainage systems. The terrain is marked by significant topographical relief, including Turkey Canyon and Ninemile Valley, where numerous arroyos and canyons like Baker Canyon and Mixon Canyon feed into the central river basin. This 2016 survey captures a largely undeveloped expanse where water management is critical, as seen in the Landsat Number 4-H-A Reservoir and the Kelly Water Hole. While primarily rural and focused on the natural watercourse of the Alkali Arroyo, the presence of Counts Canal in the southeastern corner suggests specialized irrigation or water diversion efforts common in this arid region. The map provides a clear view of the township and range divisions, such as t25s r53w, which help orient land researchers to specific sections of this canyon country.
