2022 Map of Mesa

About this map

Mesa serves as the primary settlement within the Plateau Valley, where the landscape is defined by the carved paths of Plateau Creek and its many tributaries, including Mesa Cr and Coon Cr. The terrain is characterized by a series of distinct high points and mesas, such as Kimbell Mesa and Black Mtn, separated by broad flatlands like Windger Flats and Silvey Flats. Local water management is evident at Baugh Reservoir, a key feature for the ranching and agricultural interests that have historically shaped this part of Mesa County. The road network, including Horse Canyon Rd and various numbered county roads, follows the natural contours of the gulches and ridges, connecting the valley floor to the prominent overlooks of Fleming Point and Indian Peak.
