2019 Map of Pine Mountain

About this map

Uncompahgre National Forest dominates this section of Mesa County, where the high terrain of the Uncompahgre Plateau is carved by a complex network of canyons and gulches. The landscape is defined by the massive Unaweep Canyon to the north and the prominent summit of Pine Mtn, with the flat-topped expanse of Tenderfoot Mesa rising above Maverick Canyon in the west. A series of small upland water bodies, including Rim Pond, Far Pond, and Big Pond, are scattered across the higher elevations, likely serving as critical water sources in this arid environment.
