2022 Map of Corcoran Peak

About this map

Grand Valley and the northern reaches of the Book Cliffs dominate this 2022 survey of the high desert landscape along the border of Garfield and Mesa counties. The map captures a rugged topography of rising plateaus and deep drainages, centered on the prominent Corcoran Peak and the southern slopes of Garfield Mesa. A network of backcountry trails like the Skywalker Trl, Cicada Ridge Trl, and Cloud City Trl winds across Ross Ridge, illustrating the modern recreational footprint on these public lands. Significant watercourses including Little Salt Wash, Corcoran Wash, and Pine Gulch reveal the natural erosion patterns that have carved out the Main Canyon and Hunter Canyon. This map provides a precise record of the landforms and access roads as they exist in the early twenty-first century.
