2022 Map of Hightower Mountain

USGS Topo · Published 2022

About this map

The high plateau country of western Colorado is defined by the intersection of Grand Mesa National Forest and White River National Forest. This landscape is marked by extreme elevation changes, rising toward the prominent Hightower Mtn and crossing the geographic break of Buzzard Divide. The area’s hydrology is characterized by a network of drainage systems including Buzzard Cr and Alkali Cr, while infrastructure like the COLO-UTE Powerline traverses the ridgelines. High-altitude meadows such as Sunflower Flat and water sources like Mud Spring point to the region's history of seasonal grazing and ranching. A complex network of backcountry routes, from the Battlement Trl to the Harrison Creek Rd, provides access across the rugged gulches and ridges that separate Mesa Co and Garfield Co.
