1955 Map of Mesa Lakes

About this map

Grand Mesa National Forest dominates this mid-century landscape, revealing a complex network of high-altitude water management and recreational infrastructure. The map illustrates a high density of reservoirs including Bull Creek Reservoir No 1, Jumbo Reservoir, and the Monroe and Barnes Reservoir, connected by gravity-fed systems like the City Ditch and an elevated aqueduct. These water features highlight the era's reliance on mountain runoff for regional agriculture and ranching, supported by seasonal outposts such as Bull Creek Cow Camp and the Hallenbeck Cow Camp.
