2019 Map of Highline Lake

About this map

Highline Lake and the engineering of the Government Highline Canal dominate this landscape within the Grand Valley. The map details a sophisticated network of irrigation and water management essential to this arid region, where drainages like Peck and Beede Wash and Coyote Wash cut through the terrain. The area around Mack Mesa serves as a hub for local infrastructure, featuring the Mack Mesa Airport and a grid of numbered rural roads such as 13 Rd and Q Rd. Recreational footprints are visible through the Highline Lake Trail, Greasewood Flats Trail, and Eagle Loop. To the north, the terrain becomes increasingly dissected by deep cuts like Demaree Canyon and Comp Gulch, illustrating the transition from the irrigated valley floor to the high desert plateaus of the Garfield Co and Mesa Co border.
