2022 Map of Red Pinnacle

About this map

Mt Logan and the Red Pinnacle define this portion of the Western Slope, where the drainage systems of Conn Cr and Logan Wash carve through the high plateau. The landscape is marked by steep elevation changes, ranging from the prominent peaks down to the Colorado River corridor in the southeast corner. Human intervention in this arid environment is evident in the Bluestone Valley Ditch, an irrigation feature skirting the river valley floor. Remote water sources like Hayward Spring and Prichard Spring are noted among the numerous ravines such as Bowdish Gulch and Starkey Gulch. This survey captures the region's character as a land of complex topography and vital water management, where named landmarks served as essential navigational points for those traversing the Colorado backcountry.
