2019 Map of Hunter Mesa

About this map

Hunter Mesa and the surrounding high country of Garfield County are defined by an intricate network of irrigation systems and creek drainages that supported the region's ranching economy. This landscape is marked by the presence of several vital water management features, including the Multa Trina Ditch, Highline Ditch, and Porter Ditch, which redirect water across the terrain to sustain local land use. The topography is split by significant watercourses such as Middle Mamm Cr, E Mamm Cr, and W Mamm Cr, carving through the tablelands. Ranching heritage is evidenced by roads like Cedar Springs Ranch Rd, while natural landmarks like Coyote Park, Gant Gulch, and Halls Gulch provide distinct geographic anchors for researchers of this part of the Colorado high desert.
