About this map

Uncompahgre National Forest encompasses much of this high-plateau landscape in Mesa County, where deep incisions like Unaweep Canyon and Jacks Canyon define the drainage patterns of the region. The map documents a rugged interior geography shaped by steep gulches and mountain massifs, including Gibbler Mtn and the uniquely named Nancy Hanks Gulch Farmers Canyon.

Modern infrastructure is represented by a network of specialized routes, from the automotive Divide Rd to the recreational Tabeguache Trail and Rocky Pitch Loop Trail. This 2016 survey illustrates how the area's natural features, such as East Cr and Big Dominguez Canyon, continue to dictate movement through the Colorado backcountry, providing a precise record for land management and backcountry navigation.
