2019 Map of Mack

About this map

Grand Valley agriculture meets the high desert wilderness in this detailed survey of Western Colorado. The irrigation network, including the Grand Valley Canal and Golden Hill Canal, supports the settlements of Mack, Loma, and the western edge of Fruita. North of the valley, Mack Mesa and its Mack Mesa Reservoir overlook the cultivated plains. To the south, the terrain shifts abruptly at the Colorado River, giving way to a dense concentration of geological landmarks within the Horsethief Canyon SWA. This area is particularly notable for its high density of named natural arches, such as Trail Arch, Centennial Arch, and the Hole in the Bridge Arch. The map captures the intersection of the region's ranching and farming identity with its transition into the canyons of Rattlesnake Canyon and Pollock Canyon, providing a clear record of the modern road grid alongside these ancient landforms.
