2011 Map of Snipe Mountain

About this map

Snipe Mountain and the surrounding high country of Mesa County define this landscape of ridges and ranching outposts. The map documents several seasonal livestock stations, including Blumberg Camp in the north and Musser Cow Camp near Points Creek. Water management for this arid terrain is evidenced by the Beaver-Huffington Dam and its accompanying Beaver Dam Reservoir situated below Kelso Mesa. The drainage system is intricate, with the North Fork Escalante Creek and Middle Fork Escalante Creek carving deep paths across the territory. Notable landmarks such as Long Point Mountain and Monument Hill provide essential orientation points for those navigating the Divide Rd and the Brushy Ridge Trl.
