2022 Map of Mesa Lakes

About this map

Grand Mesa National Forest dominates this high-altitude landscape, where a sophisticated network of early 21st-century irrigation and recreation infrastructure defines the plateau. The concentration of reservoirs like Coon Cr Reservoir Number Four, Jumbo Reservoir, and Water Dog Reservoir reflects a complex history of water management essential to the surrounding valleys. A seasonal economy is evident through the extensive trail systems, ranging from the Skyway Ski Winslow Trl to the Lands End Loop Snowmobile Trl, illustrating the area's role as a multi-use recreational hub.
