About this map

The Gunnison River winds through the northern portion of this landscape, marking a sharp transition from the irrigated agricultural lands of California Mesa to the high, broken plateaus of the Uncompahgre Plateau. The 2022 survey details an intricate network of water management essential to this arid region, featuring the Ironstone Canal, E C Lateral, and several upland water sources like Twentyfive Mesa Reservoir and Club Gulch Reservoir.

Tracing the boundary between Delta and Montrose counties, the map highlights the deep drainage of Roubideau Cr. This area is defined by its dramatic relief, from The Narrows to the high stretches of Winter Mesa. A web of backroads and historical routes, including the Lower Roubideau Trl and Painted Wall Trl, provides access to these canyons and gulches, reflecting a landscape used for both livestock grazing and recreational transit.
