The San Juan flows into the Navajo <br /> <br />Reservoir and New Mexico then re-enters Colorado on the Ute Mountain <br /> <br />Ute Indian Reservation in the vicinity of Four Corners. The <br /> <br />Colorado River ultimately receives San Juan River flows at Lake <br />Powell in southeastern Utah. <br /> <br />2.2 TOPOGRAPHY <br /> <br />The Southern Ute and Ute Mountain Ute Indian reservation lands <br /> <br />include mountainous uplands (San Juan Mountains) and high semi-arid <br />mesas that are dissected by active streams and ephemeral washes. <br /> <br />The elevation of the project area varies considerably from <br /> <br />mountainous uplands with peaks approximately 10,000 feet in <br />elevation to gently sloping mesas with elevations ranging from about <br />5,000 to 7,000 feet to drainage channels that may be several hundred <br /> <br />feet below mesa lands. <br /> <br />The San Juan Mountains occur in the eastern portion of the Southern <br />Ute Reservations east of the City of Ignacio. Sleeping Ute <br />Mountain, which is northwest of Towac, is located on the Ute Mountain <br />Ute Reservation. The San Juan Mountains consist of highly <br /> <br />dissected, nearly horizontal sheets of lava and tuff. This area is <br /> <br />characterized by high relief, steep topography, and narrow canyons. <br />Arable lands located in the mountainous upland region generally <br />consist of nearly level to gently Sloping alluvial deposits located <br />in conjunction with streams and washes. <br /> <br />2- 4 <br />
