2019 Map of Snyder Flats

About this map

Unaweep Canyon and the Unaweep Divide anchor the central landscape of this western Colorado survey, where the high plateaus of the Grand Mesa National Forest meet the Uncompahgre National Forest. The map documents a complex water management system through a series of numbered catchments, including King Reservoir Number 1 and Gobbo Reservoir Number 1, alongside natural features like Enochs Lake. Local history and industry are represented by Gill Spur and the grazing lands of Gill Meadows, while the topography is punctuated by sharp landmarks such as Thimble Rock Point and Thimble Point. The drainage patterns of Johnson Cr and Snyder Cr illustrate the rugged transitions between the flats and the steep gulches of the Uncompahgre front.
