2023 Map of Steamboat Mesa

About this map

The Dolores River cuts through the southwestern portion of this high-desert landscape at the Utah-Colorado state line, where the churning waters of the Stateline Rapids mark the river's path. This high-plateau country is defined by the massive, flat-topped Steamboat Mesa, which rises above deep drainages like Buckhorn Draw and Granite Creek. The terrain transitions from the high elevations of Piñon Mesa and Haystack Peaks in the northeast down toward the Steamboat Area. While the map reflects modern 2023 land data, the named features like Lost Horse Basin and Ryan Park point to a long history of local ranching and exploration in this remote corner of Grand and Mesa Counties.
