The Uncompahgre National Forest dominates this landscape in Western Colorado, where the high mesa country meets the deep incision of the San Miguel Canyon. This 2019 survey documents a complex network of upland water management, featuring dozens of named catchments such as Herman Reservoir, Tarantula Reservoir, and Sorenson Reservoir. These small-scale water systems, alongside features like Nelson Ditch, highlight the enduring importance of irrigation and livestock watering in the high desert environment.
