2013 Map of Chalk Mountain

About this map

Grand Mesa dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border of Mesa and Delta Counties, characterized by an extensive system of water management and alpine terrain. The region is defined by a dense network of reservoirs and ditches, including the Overland Reservoir and the Overland Ditch, which redirect water across the plateau. Named peaks such as Chalk Mountain, Mount Hatten, and Crater Peak provide clear landmarks for navigating the wilderness, while the presence of the Grand Mesa National Forest and Gunnison National Forest underscores the protected status of these headwaters.
