About this map

The Uncompahgre National Forest dominates the southwestern portion of this high-desert landscape, where deep erosional features define the local geography. Significant drainages like Unaweep Canyon and Jacks Canyon cut through the terrain, flanked by notable rises such as Gibbler Mtn. This environment is shaped by a complex network of seasonal watercourses and gulches, including Nancy Hanks Gulch and Taylor Gulch, which feed into larger systems like Big Dominguez Cr.

Modern access is provided by State Highway 141 and several forest-service routes such as Divide Rd and the Rocky Pitch Loop. The presence of Farmers Canyon and Gibbler Gulch suggests the importance of cattle grazing and land management in this part of Mesa County. This 2019 data illustrates the contemporary boundaries and road networks within the canyon country, providing a clear view of the relationship between the protected forest lands and the surrounding public domain.
