1972 Map of Jacks Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Unaweep Canyon and its dramatic drainage systems dominate this 1970s survey of Mesa County. The landscape is defined by deep incisions like Nancy Hanks Gulch and Farmers Canyon, which carve through the high country towards the basin of East Unaweep Creek. Human activity is sparse and primarily extractive, marked by several Mines and a Quarry situated along the slopes and gulches. The southwestern portion of the map is occupied by the Uncompahgre National Forest, where a network of jeep trails and pack trails provides the only access into the high-elevation terrain. This map serves as an excellent reference for the mid-century industrial footprint and the topographic layout of the southern Uncompahgre Plateau before more modern developments, including names like Gibbler Mountain and Rocky Pitch Gulch.
