2011 Map of Warren Canyon

About this map

Sweet Alice Spring serves as a vital water point in this high-elevation landscape of San Juan County, where drainage networks define the topography. The terrain is dominated by significant erosional features such as Warren Canyon and Trail Canyon, which cut through the uplifted geography south of the Sweet Alice Hills. Towards the southern portion of the quadrangle, the land levels out onto Dry Mesa, a broad plateau that stands in contrast to the deep incisions of Woodenshoe Canyon. Human modification of this arid environment is evident in the presence of the Cooper Reservoir, fed by Cooper Spring. This 2011 survey documents a network of primitive routes and forest service roads, including the aptly named Right Leg and Sweet Alice Rd, which provide access through the remote canyon country.
