About this map

Hunter Mesa and the expansive western Colorado drainage systems define this 2016 survey of Garfield County. The landscape is marked by an intricate network of man-made irrigation features, including the Mulla Trina Ditch, Highline Ditch, and Porter Ditch, which redirect water across the varied terrain to support local ranching and agriculture. These engineered waterways contrast with the natural flow of Mamm Cr and its tributaries, such as Middle Mamm Cr and East Mamm Cr.

Relief is characterized by significant features like Gant Gulch and Halls Gulch, which cut through the high ground. The survey detail shows a transition from the lower Coyote Park up toward the more complex topography of Dry Hollow. Modern infrastructure is represented by a grid of county routes and private access roads like Cedar Springs Ranch Rd, providing a clear view of how land use and water rights continue to shape this portion of the Colorado River basin.
