About this map

Escalante Creek and its many branches define the high mesa country of Mesa County in this 2011 survey. The landscape is characterized by a series of prominent high points and drainage systems, including the North Fork Escalante Creek, Middle Fork Escalante Creek, and East Fork Escalante Creek. These waterways carve through the terrain between named heights like Dry Mesa, Love Mesa, and Dillard Mesa.

Evidence of local ranching and land use is visible at the Picket Corral Ranch, located near the confluence of the drainage basins. The map also records secluded water sources such as Love Lake and distinct topographical landmarks like Long Point and Kelso Point. This survey captures the rural character and hydrographic complexity of the region before further modern developments altered the local backcountry infrastructure.
