About this map

Grand Mesa National Forest defines this high-elevation landscape, where an intricate network of water management features supports the surrounding region. The map reveals a complex system of reservoirs and conveyances, including the Doughspoon Reservoir, Delta Reservoir, and several numbered basins such as Granby Reservoir Number 7. These are linked by engineered watercourses like the Doughspoon Aqueduct, Eagle Ditch, and Cedar Park Ditch.

Evidence of the area's pastoral and recreational utility is found in sites like Machett Cow Camp and the Flowing Park Overlook. Rugged terrain features such as Hells Kitchen and Beebe Gulch sit alongside numerous alpine lakes, including Carson Lake and Greenwood Lake. The presence of multiple trails, such as the Kannah Creek Trl and Mesa Top Trl, underscores the forest's role as a vital corridor for both livestock management and backcountry access.
