About this map

Jersey Jim Lookout Tower stands as a focal point in this high-elevation landscape of Montezuma County, where the headwaters of the West Mancos River and Middle Mancos River carve through the Rampart Hills. The map documents a complex network of water management and extraction, featuring the Jackson Gulch Inlet Canal and the Weber Reservoir Inlet Ditch alongside numerous small reservoirs like Box Canyon Reservoir.

Extensive mining activity is recorded throughout the area, particularly on the eastern slopes. Here, one can trace the locations of the Golconda Placer, the Red Arrow Mine, and the Fall Creek Mine near East Gulch. For genealogists and local historians, family-named landmarks such as Doc Lowell Flat, Lucy Halls Park, and the isolated Sheek Cemetery provide essential links to the area's early settlers and cattlemen who utilized the Beef Pasture.
