2013 Map of Molina

About this map

The Plateau Valley serves as a vital corridor in this part of Mesa County, where the settlement of Molina is situated along the banks of Plateau Creek. The landscape is defined by a series of named homesteads and local institutions that speak to the area's ranching and agricultural heritage, including the Tanner Homestead, Miller Homestead, and the McKenny Homestead. Educational history is particularly well-represented on this map, which identifies the Bull Creek School, Georgia Mesa School, Eagalite School, and Mormon Mesa School. To the south, the terrain rises toward the Grand Mesa National Forest, with water managed through systems like the S Side Canal and the Mormon Mesa Ditch. Notable landmarks such as The Beehive and Round Mountain punctuate the mesas, while the Mesa Cem provides a focal point for genealogical interest.
