1971 Map of Dale Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

Johnson Mesa dominates this high-altitude landscape along the border where Colorado and New Mexico meet. The topographical detail reveals a complex network of volcanic landforms and water sources, from the prominent summits of Madrid Peak and Red Mountain to the essential water points like Dale Springs and Ross Spring. The drainage patterns are clearly defined, showing how water moves off the mesa into Taylor Canyon and toward the Dry Cimarron River. Human modification of this remote terrain is sparse but visible, marked by a few scattered roads, a Gravel Pit, and various Jeep Trails that navigate the slopes of Dale Mountain. This survey provides a precise look at the hydrology of the region, including high-mesa bodies of water such as Berry Lake and Bellisle Lake alongside seasonal drainages like Uña de Gato Creek.
