It's a landmark that the lazy programmers were going to put in but never made the code for it to generate on a random map and just left it there. Basicly, it carves a tunnel through high land. Try putting it on 3000ft land. If a river is nearby, it will probably go through it. it might give a +1 mineral bonus, can't remember.
edit: Oh yeah, you place it with the scenario editor.

Here are some links to map-editing threads. The first of each pair is to the first post of the thread. The second is to a post (by me ) in that thread that refers to the Nessus Canyon.
You have to add it to the map manually in the editor, and each Canyon square does give +1 Mineral.

It's a canyon. A low river runs through 2 high elevations, and gives +1 minerals. I've had it show up in a multiplayer game.

I had it in my territory as the Hive in a pbem based on a public map prepared by tfs99 as CMN (I wonder whether his Slartibarfast (?) site with the download is still online), a pbem which started in 1999...

I had a boreholed Mineral Special on a river in it
Needless to say, that meant humoungous ecodamage headaches , as I didn't know yet the best tactics to tackle it
