The Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad corridor anchors this 1962 industrial and agricultural landscape, connecting the small settlements of Mack and Loma in Mesa County. Irrigation is central to the valley's character, evidenced by the intricate network of the Kiefer Extension Grand Valley Canal, the Golden Hill Canal, and the Mack Mesa Reservoir. South of the rail lines, the terrain drops dramatically into the Horsethief Canyon Colorado River, where the river cuts through deep sandstone formations.
