1969 Map of Good Point

USGS Topo · Published 1991

About this map

Escalante Creek carves a deep path through the canyon lands of the Uncompahgre Plateau, marking the border between Delta and Montrose counties. This 1969 field-checked survey reveals a landscape defined by sharp topographical features like Good Point, Bad Point, and the prominent Escalante Rim. The network of (Pack) Trail routes and 4WD tracks suggests a territory accessed primarily by stockmen and explorers, with vital water sources such as Caps Spring and Cottonwood Spring supporting life in the arid high country. Evidence of earlier inhabitants is noted along the eastern cliffs where Petroglyphs are marked, while the presence of the Dry Mesa Reservoir No 2 and Stone Basin Reservoir indicates modern efforts to manage the scarce water resources of Little Dry Mesa. The terrain is divided into long, narrow ridges including Sowbelly Ridge and Camp Ridge, separated by a series of steep drainages like Palmer Gulch and Tatum Gulch.
