About this map

The high plateau of Grand Mesa National Forest dominates this mid-century landscape, revealing a complex network of high-altitude water management and recreational development. A dense cluster of reservoirs and lakes, including Mesa Lakes, Jumbo Reservoir, and Sunset Lake, highlights the importance of the area for both irrigation and leisure. The presence of the Mesa Lakes Ranger Station and various campgrounds like Glacier Spring Campground indicates a well-established forestry and tourism infrastructure by the 1950s.
