About this map

Grand Junction anchors the southeastern corner of this map, showcasing the transition from suburban expansion to the striking terrain of the Grand Valley. The landscape is defined by the impressive Book Cliffs rising to the north and the prominent landmark of Corcoran Point. Essential water management infrastructure, including the Government Highline Canal and the Grand Valley Canal, cut across the valley floor, illustrating the complex irrigation network necessary for local development and agriculture.

The northern reaches of the map are dissected by numerous dry washes and creeks such as Adobe Cr, Hunter Wash, and Persigo Wash, which drain the higher elevations. This 2022 survey captures the modern footprint of the Grand Junction Regional Airport alongside local heritage sites like Crown Point Cem. The grid of named rural roads, such as 25 Rd and 24 Rd, provides a clear view of how modern settlement patterns have integrated with the natural landforms and traditional water routes of Mesa County.
