1961 Map of Chalk Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Chalk Mountain and the surrounding high-altitude plateaus of the Grand Mesa National Forest and Gunnison National Forest define this landscape. In the early 1960s, this area was a complex network of managed water resources, characterized by numerous small reservoirs and stock tanks like the curiously named Holy Terror Res, Dogfish Reservoir, and Wash Tub Res. These catchments, along with the larger Overland Reservoir and the extensive Overland Ditch, reflect the critical role of water diversion and storage in the high-country ranching and irrigation systems of Mesa and Delta counties.
