2013 Map of Quaker Mesa

About this map

The high-altitude drainage systems of White River National Forest and Gunnison National Forest converge on this 2013 survey, where Mesa, Pitkin, and Gunnison counties meet. The landscape is defined by massive landforms such as Quaker Mesa and Flat Top Mountain, which rise between deep drainages like East Divide Creek and North Thompson Creek. Early 20th-century routes are preserved in the mapping, including Jones Creek Trail 1901.1 and Clearfork Trail 8810.0. Evidence of land management and resource extraction appears in features like the Thompson Cr Ditch, Reservoir Park, and the industrial footprint of Well No. 5 located near the eastern boundary. Notable landmarks such as Haystack Mountain and Baldy Mountain provide distinct navigational points within this complex network of creek systems including Beaver Dam Creek and Wolf Creek.
