About this map

Natural stone spans and deep drainages define this portion of Mesa County, where the desert landscape is punctuated by geological landmarks like Arete Arch, Bulwark Arch, and Protractor Arch. The Little Dolores River carves through the southern sections of the quadrangle, joined by seasonal drainages such as Twentyeight Hole Wash and Toms Canyon.

Access across this dissected terrain is limited to a network of remote paths and primitive tracks, including the Sieber Canyon Trl and Gore Trl. Large land features such as Long Mesa and Hells Hole indicate the significant vertical relief of the region. This survey serves as a modern record of these landforms, detailing the relationship between the high mesas and the canyon systems of Mee Canyon and Knowles Canyon before they descend toward the river valley.
