About this map

Wrights Mesa defines the high ground of this West Slope landscape, where the settlement of Redvale sits at the junction of several county roads. The area's history of resource extraction is evident in the cluster of mining operations near the town center, specifically the Klondyke Mine and Johnstown Mine. To the east, the community of Coventry is established near the Coventry Cemetery, overlooking the deep incision of Naturita Canyon.

Water management is the critical infrastructure here, with engineered waterways like Gurley Ditch, Durley Ditch, and Parkway Ditch traversing the plateau to support agriculture and settlement. These man-made channels contrast with the natural drainage systems of Maverick Draw and San Miguel Canyon, illustrating a complex network of 21st-century irrigation and historical mining sites like the Rice Coal Mine.
