The Uncompahgre River corridor defines the western edge of this landscape, where the fertile land of East Mesa transitions into a complex network of irrigation infrastructure. This 2013 survey reveals the intricate water management system essential to this region of the Western Slope, featuring the Selig Canal, E Canal, and various laterals like the G K B Lateral and E O Lateral. These man-made channels cut through the terrain alongside natural features such as the Loutsenhizer Arroyo, illustrating the heavy modification of the arid valley floor for agricultural use.
