About this map

Battlement Mesa and its high-altitude surroundings dominate this 1960s landscape, captured just as energy infrastructure began to mark the Garfield County terrain. While the Colorado River skirts the northwestern corner, the topography is defined by massive formations like Log Mesa, Flatiron Mesa, and Grass Mesa. These elevated plateaus are separated by deep drainages such as Beaver Creek and Porcupine Creek, which flow toward the river valley.

Resource extraction and public land management appear through various markers, including several Gas Well sites and an extensive Pipeline network. Much of the southern territory falls within the White River National Forest and Grand Mesa Nat Forest, where primitive access is provided by a network of Jeep Trails and Pack Trails. Localized landmarks like Tepee Park and the prominent North Mamm Peak serve as vital points for those tracing old backcountry routes and family-named geological features.
