Gateway sits at the dramatic confluence of West Creek and the Dolores River, serving as a central point in this 2016 study of Mesa County topography. The landscape is defined by deep incisions and high plateaus, including The Palisade and Tenderfoot Mesa, which overlook a network of canyons such as Unaweep Canyon and John Brown Canyon. This modern survey illustrates the proximity of agricultural and ranching operations, like Castro Ranch and Hendricks Field at West Creek Ranch, to the protected lands of the Uncompahgre National Forest.
