1972 Map of Snyder Flats

About this map

Unaweep Canyon serves as the dominant geological feature of this 1970s survey, bisecting the landscape as it passes the Unaweep Divide. The topography reveals a dramatic transition between the high plateaus of Snyder Flats and the deep drainage basins of West Creek and East Creek. This area, managed by both the Grand Mesa National Forest and the Uncompahgre National Forest, is marked by a network of seasonal watercourses like Moore Creek and Fall Creek that feed into the canyon system.
