About this map

The high plateau of the Grand Mesa National Forest is defined by an intricate network of alpine lakes and irrigation reservoirs. This 2022 survey reveals the intensive water management system throughout the Mesa and Delta county lines, featuring numerous named catchments such as Atkinson Reservoir and the Bullfinch Reservoir Number One. The landscape is a hub for recreational navigation, documented through a dense web of specialized paths including the Bonham Snowmobile And Ski Trl and the Sunlight To Powderhorn Sno Trl.

Modern transit is anchored by the Grand Mesa Scenic Byway, which provides access to established sites like the Ward Lake CG. Notable geological features like The Big Slide and Horse Mtn overlook the plateau's many flats and sloughs, including Webb Flats and Arch Slough. The map serves as a contemporary guide to the region's complex hydrology and the seasonal trail systems that crisscross the Grand Mesa.
