About this map

Monument Rocks and the distinctive formation of Round Mountain define the high-elevation landscape of Mesa County in this 2013 survey. The terrain is deeply incised by a series of drainages, including Coal Canyon, Cottonwood Canyon, and Main Canyon, which carve through the high plateaus of the region. Notable landmarks such as Snipes Corral suggest the historical and ongoing ranching activity that characterizes this part of the Colorado interior.

Ephemeral water sources like Indian Wash, Lewis Wash, and Spring Creek wind through the topography, occasionally pooling in areas like Indian Park or the broader Moulton Valley. The southern edge of the map is punctuated by the significant elevation of Mount Garfield, while the northern reaches include the narrow passage of Lane Gulch. This map provides a detailed look at the complex physical geography of the area, from the high Pine Ridge to the various washes that drain toward the valley floor.
