About this map

Heiberger sits at the southern edge of this high-elevation landscape, where the drainage of Buzzard Creek and Plateau Creek defines the local topography. This region of the Western Slope is characterized by the massive landform of Battlement Mesa, which dominates the northern half of the area. A network of high peaks and overlooks, including South Mamm Peak, Elk Mountain, and Bald Mountain, provides a structured view of the terrain within the White River National Forest and Grand Mesa National Forest.

Resource management and high-country grazing are evident through the presence of the Brush Creek Cow Camp, located along Brush Creek. The map details an extensive system of wilderness routes such as Battlement Trail 2527.0 and Brush Creek Trail 2529.0. Distinctive local landmarks like The Peninsula and Hells Hole offer specific points of interest for those studying the physical geography and named gulches of the Mesa County backcountry.
