About this map

The Dolores River cuts through the center of this landscape, carving a route through the high terrain of the San Juan National Forest. This 2022 survey reveals a complex network of resource management and historical activity, marked by an extensive system of water catchments like Bauer Reservoir, Taylor Mesa Reservoir, and Black Reservoir. These features, alongside numerous springs such as Siphon Spring and Calico Spring, point to the critical role of water infrastructure in this part of Montezuma County.

Industrial and transit history is evidenced by the Clampett Mill and its associated Clampett Mill Trl, located in the southern portion of the quadrangle near Lost Canyon. The high-altitude terrain of Taylor Mesa is crisscrossed by specialized routes like the Priest Gulch Trl and Section House Trl, reflecting the historical movement of foresters and laborers through the timber and ranching lands of southwestern Colorado.
