1966 Map of Turkey Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The Purgatoire River winds through the northern reaches of this landscape in Bent County, creating a complex network of drainage systems across the high plains. The terrain is defined by deep incisions such as Turkey Canyon and Baker Canyon, which provide essential drainage into the river valley. In this arid environment, reliable water sources were critical to land use, evidenced by the named Kelly Water Hole and various Springs located along the canyon floors.
