2019 Map of Indian Point

About this map

Grand Mesa National Forest defines this high-altitude landscape on the border of Mesa and Delta Counties. The map reveals an intricate network of water management features essential to the region's ranching and agricultural history, including the Kannah Cr Highline Ditch and the Juniata Ditch. High points like Indian Point and Lands End provide strategic overlooks above the complex drainage basins of Coal Creek Basin and Alkali Basin. The presence of Chambers Reservoir and Doughspoon Reservoir indicates the careful capture of snowmelt from the mesa's plateau. Evidence of early land use and access is found along the Indian Point Cutoff and remote outposts such as the Delta Cabin, illustrating how the forest's resources were historically navigated and utilized.
