2020 Map of Steamboat Mesa

About this map

Steamboat Mesa dominates this western Colorado landscape where high-desert mesas meet the carved drainage of the Dolores River. Located along the boundary of Grand County, Utah, and Mesa County, Colorado, the area is defined by sharp elevation changes and named topographic landmarks such as Renegade Point and the Haystack Peaks. The map illustrates a complex network of canyons and draws, including Buckhorn Draw and Lost Horse Basin, which feed into seasonal and perennial watercourses like Granite Cr and Ryan Creek. Near the southern edge of the sheet, the river channel reaches Stateline Rapids, a significant point of interest for river navigation and geography. The absence of major settlements emphasizes the wilderness character of the Steamboat Area, while named features like Ryan Park suggest historical land use in this high-altitude terrain.
