2016 Map of Woods Canyon

About this map

Yellow Jacket Canyon and Sand Canyon dominate this landscape in Montezuma County, where the high desert is deeply incised by a network of drainage systems. This 2016 survey captures a region defined by its complex topography and limited water sources, such as the secluded Moqui Lake and the ephemeral Rock Cr. The map highlights significant landforms including Goodman Point and Big Point, which serve as natural landmarks above the canyon floors. A dedicated network of paths, most notably the Sand Canyon Trail, provides access through the rugged interior, while rural routes like Goodman Point Rd and Co RD 14 skirt the plateaus. The detailed contour lines reveal the sheer walls of Sandstone Canyon and Moccasin Canyon, illustrating the geological character of the Four Corners region.
