2016 Map of Flatiron Mountain

About this map

Flatiron Mountain and the high ridges of the White River National Forest dominate this 2016 survey along the Garfield and Mesa County line. The landscape is defined by an intricate network of drainage systems and high peaks, including Uncle Bob Mtn, Baldy Mtn, and Flagpole Mtn. While largely high-altitude wilderness, the map reveals modern resource extraction through several labeled sites like Well #24 and Well #19 located near Coal Ridge. For those tracing local history or geography, the map details numerous gulches and trails, such as the Cayton Gulch Trail and Reno Gulch Trail, which navigate the steep terrain between Mosquito Lake and the Grand Mesa National Forest to the south. The presence of the Highline Ditch in the northwest corner highlights the engineering required to manage water in this arid mountain environment.
