2019 Map of Yellow Jacket
USGS Topo · Published 2019About this map
Yellow Jacket and the nearby settlement of Lewis sit atop a high plateau punctuated by a dense network of canyons and draws in Montezuma County. This modern 2019 survey illustrates the vital role of water management in this arid landscape, featuring the Dove Cr Canal and the U-Lateral canal system. To the northeast, the Dolores River carves through the corner of the San Juan National Forest, flanked by significant landforms like Lone Dome and Ferris Canyon. The area's agricultural and social history is grounded by local landmarks such as Fairview Cem and Sunnyside Cem. The terrain is characterized by deep incisions like Yellow Jacket Canyon and Sandstone Canyon, while the surface is gridded by county roads, including the prominent diagonal of N Broadway, which connects these rural communities.
