2013 Map of Dry Creek

About this map

Grand Mesa National Forest dominates the northern landscape of this Delta County quadrangle, where the high plateau of Grand Mesa gives way to a complex system of ridges and gulches. The terrain is defined by its water management history, featuring an intricate network of irrigation channels including Stull Ditch, Highline Ditch, and Durkee Ditch that traverse the lower elevations near Redlands Mesa and Oak Mesa. These human-made waterways indicate the area's agricultural dependence on snowmelt from the higher peaks.
