About this map

Uncompahgre National Forest dominates this landscape, revealing a complex network of high plateaus and deep drainage systems in Mesa County. The topography is defined by prominent elevations such as Smith Point and Bret Point in the northwest, which overlook the winding path of Big Dominguez Cr as it carves through Dominguez Canyon. This high-country terrain is navigated by historic routes like Divide Rd and the Dominguez Cutoff, reflecting a long history of seasonal movement and land use in this part of Colorado.

Lower-lying features like Wagon Park and various camps, including Winter Camp, suggest a legacy of ranching or administrative presence within the forest boundaries. In the southern reaches, the drainage patterns of Keith Creek and Red Cr create a series of ridges and gulches, notably Dominguez Ridge and Corral Gulch. These natural corridors have historically shaped access to water sources such as Buck Springs in an otherwise arid environment.
