About this map

Piñon Mesa defines the southern high ground of this section of Mesa County, where the high desert drainage systems of the Uncompahgre Plateau transition into deep canyon networks. The landscape is defined by its water sources, with Toms Canyon Spring and McGinley Spring providing critical points of reference in an arid environment. The map details a complex system of seasonal and perennial waterways including the Little Dolores River, Coates Cr, and Bieser Cr, which have carved significant features such as Kings Canyon and Wilderness Canyon.

A network of county roads, including the alphanumeric DS RD and S 7/10 RD, provides access across the townships of T12S and T13S. These routes follow the natural contours of the land, navigating between the high mesas and the branching canyons like Middle Canyon and Briar Canyon. The infrastructure recorded here reflects the modern management of these public and private lands near the Colorado-Utah border.
