Oak Mesa and the expansive high-country drainage systems of Delta County define this landscape as it appeared in the early 21st century. The map reveals a complex network of water management essential for high-altitude ranching and mining, including the Overland Ditch, Wakefield Ditch, and Foote Ditch. These waterways feed a series of upland catchments such as Gray Reservoir, the Patterson Reservoirs, and Sheep Drive Reservoir.
