About this map

The Colorado River cuts through the northern reaches of this Colorado landscape, where the plateau terrain is defined by prominent landforms such as Grass Mesa and Flatiron Mesa. In the early 1960s, this region of Garfield County supported industrial activity as shown by several Gas Wells and an Oil Well located near the riverbank and along Porcupine Creek. The map documents a transition from the river valley to the high elevations of Battlement Mesa, culminating at North Mamm Peak.

Administrative boundaries between the White River National Forest and Grand Mesa National Forest intersect near Tepee Park, highlighting the managed nature of this wilderness. A network of Jeep Trails and Pack Trails provides the primary means of traversal across Log Mesa and through the various gulches, including Helmer Gulch and Ramsey Gulch, while a Gaging Sta on the river suggests early water management efforts in the basin.
