About this map

Plateau Valley serves as the central corridor of this Western Slope landscape, where the waters of Plateau Creek are fed by numerous descending drainages like Shire Gulch and King Gulch. The settlement of Mesa is the primary hub, situated near the junction of Mesa Creek and Tate Creek. To the south, John Held Corner and the Morris Ranch mark the transition toward the higher elevations of Chalk Mountain and Barney Hill.

The map reveals a network of rural life defined by family-named landmarks and water management, such as the Baugh Reservoir beneath East Monument. Notable points of local interest include the Atwell Homestead and the uniquely identified Meeker Tree near the banks of Mesa Creek. From the high ground of Kimbell Mesa to the flats of Cobert Flats, the terrain supports a dispersed ranching and farming community linked by a grid of numbered and named county roads.
