2019 Map of Willow Spring

About this map

Dunham Place and a network of named water management features characterize this high-country landscape on the border of Dolores and Montezuma counties. Within the San Juan National Forest, the terrain is defined by significant elevations such as Lone Mesa and Belmear Mtn, transitioning into deep incisions like Trail Canyon and Long Draw. The complex system of reservoirs, including Old Station Reservoir, Needed Reservoir, and Elk Reservoir, reveals the importance of water catchment and storage for the region's ranching or forestry activities. The presence of Willow Spring Reservoir and Sagebrush Spring suggests a reliance on scattered natural water sources in this mesa-and-canyon environment. Along the southern edge, the map identifies McPhee Park, while various numbered reservoirs such as Little Beaver Number 2 Reservoir illustrate the systematic development of the local watershed.
