Interesting
Something interesting I found last night, the word canyon possibly derived from a latin word meaning footpath (American Spanish cañón, probably alteration of obsolete Spanish callón, augmentative of calle street, from Latin callis footpath)
so take it in the canyon down might not even be referring to an actual canyon but a trail.

Two other locations in Texas come to mind when considering the above referenced words that might possibly share 'related' connections:
Calhoun - A street in Fort Worth, Texas
Paris - A town in Texas

When I was researching things that are 36" wide like Olga's tub, I learned that a footpath around a castle is also called a banquette. One of Forrest's quotes "meet me at the great banquet" had me on this line of thinking, which then lead me to a firestep and a banco, common in New Mexican architecture...the tangled web of words this Chase weaves. This is like the association game, you say a word and I tell you how I can relate it to this hunt! It is my hope that one of these days something said will tie the whole thing together.

Of course now I'm too old to be much of a fisherman, and now I usually fish the big waters alone, although some friends think I shouldn't. But when I'm alone in the half light of the canyon, all existence seems to fade to a being with my soul and memories, and the sounds of the big blackfoot river, and the four-count rhythm, and the hope that a fish will rise. Eventually all things merge into one, and the river runs through it. The river was cut by the world's great flood, and runs over rocks from the basement of time. On some of the rocks are timeless raindrops; under the rocks are the words, and some of the words are theirs. I am haunted by waters.
— Norman Maclean, (1976)

"A River Runs Through It"
"A river" could be what ties the poem/whole thing/it together.

"A River Runs Through It"
"A river" could be what ties the poem/whole thing/it together. Could, for instance, "water high" refer to Eridanus - the heavenly river?
Could then the "blaze' be the star "α Eridanus" - "the end of the river"?
One of the names given for "α Eridanus" is "Acharnarim".
Among the anagrams of Acharnarim are:
An Armchair Airman Arch Maria Ranch
