About this map

Hunter Mesa serves as a prominent geographic anchor in this 1963 Colorado survey, which highlights the irrigation and resource extraction patterns that sustained Garfield County through the mid-20th century. The intricate network of Highline Ditch and Porter Ditch illustrates the vital role of water management in this arid landscape, diverted to support agriculture across the mesa.

The presence of Fairview Ch provides a focal point for local genealogy, while the landscape is heavily marked by energy and mineral interests, including a Gas Well, scattered Well markers, and several Prospects. The drainage system is defined by the branching forks of Mamm Creek, including its West, Middle, and East segments, alongside several Gravel Pit operations that reflect the local industry of the era.
