1969 Map of Juniata Reservoir

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Purdy Mesa and Reeder Mesa define the high landscape of Mesa County in the late 1960s, a region where water management is essential to the high-desert environment. This survey highlights an intricate network of irrigation and water transport, featuring the Kannah Creek Flow Line (Aqueduct) and numerous man-made catchments such as Juniata Res, Hallenbeck Reservoir, and Cheney Res. The presence of the Cross Bar Cross Ranch signifies the agricultural and ranching heritage of the area, while the eastern portion of the sheet transitions into the protected timberlands of the Grand Mesa National Forest. Transportation is primarily facilitated by primitive routes like Fortymile Road and various jeep trails, reflecting the rural and utilitarian nature of the territory before significant modern development altered the drainage and local infrastructure.
