1965 Map of Gray Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1968

About this map

The high plateau landscape of Grand Mesa National Forest and Gunnison National Forest dominates this mid-1960s study of Delta County. The map documents an extensive network of water management features essential for high-altitude land use, including the Overland Ditch, Wakefield Ditch, and Roatcap Ditch. These artificial waterways connect a series of small alpine lakes such as Gray Reservoir, Patterson Reservoirs, and Brockman Reservoir No 1. Evidence of seasonal work and resource extraction is found at the Schoneman Ditch Camp and the Burdick Mine near the southern edge of the survey. The terrain transitions from the broad expanse of Wakefield Mesa down into the deep drainage of East Fork Terror Creek, while various routes like the Pack Trail and Short Draw Trail illustrate the historical movement of people and livestock across the mesa tops.
