About this map

Wedding Bell Mtn and Radium Mtn stand as prominent landmarks in this high-altitude landscape along the border of Montrose and San Miguel Counties. The area is defined by massive formations such as Skein Mesa and Monogram Mesa, which are dissected by a complex network of drainages including Wild Steer Canyon and Bull Canyon. This terrain reflects a history of resource management and exploration, evidenced by the presence of high-plateau water sources like Skein Mesa Reservoir and Monogram Mesa Reservoir.

Remote access is provided by a grid of named routes like the Monogram Truck Rte and GG16 Rd, which traverse the open country between Paradox Valley to the north and the Dry Creek Basin to the southeast. Along the southwestern edge, the Dolores River cuts through the landscape, flanked by deep draws such as Mary Jane Draw, illustrating the deep erosion patterns characteristic of this corner of Colorado.
