2013 Map of Dominguez

About this map

Gunnison River carving through the high desert of the Colorado plateau, this survey reveals a landscape of deep canyons and mesa tops defined by the Mesa Co Delta Co line. The settlement pattern is concentrated in the river valley and its adjacent benches, including Escalante and the small cluster at Dominguez. Transport across this difficult terrain is marked by Us 50 and historic routes like Dominguez Canyon Rd and Bridgeport Rd. Water management is central to the area's geography, evidenced by several small impoundments such as Dominguez Rim Reservoir and County Line Reservoir, which supported the livestock and small-scale agriculture at McCarty Bench and Huff. The map provides a detailed view of the names and landmarks that defined this transition between the mesas and the river bottom in the early 21st century.
