1969 Map of Good Point

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Petroglyphs near the Escalante Rim mark the long human presence in this high-plateau landscape of Western Colorado. In the late 1960s, the terrain was defined by complex drainage systems and isolated water sources necessary for ranching and survival, such as Caps Spring, Cottonwood Spring, and Alum Spring. The map captures the meeting point of the Delta Co Montrose Co boundary, where massive landforms like Camp Ridge and Park Ridge separate deep-cut drainages including Escalante Creek and Boyce Gulch. Infrastructure is sparse, primarily consisting of a Jeep Road and livestock-related improvements like Dry Mesa Reservoir No 2 and Stone Basin Reservoir. This survey provides a record of the remote Uncompahgre Plateau region, highlighting landmarks like the Keyhole and the prominent McCarty Bench.
