2011 Map of Triangle Mesa

About this map

Bridgeport sits along the Gunnison River in this western Colorado landscape, where the river's path is carved through an intricate network of mesas and deep drainages. The topography is defined by significant elevations like Triangle Mesa and No Mans Mesa, separated by a system of erosion-carved canyons. The Big Dominguez Creek and its tributary, the Dry Fork Big Dominguez Creek, serve as the primary drainage arteries for the south and central regions, while smaller features like Warm Spring indicate the localized hydrology of the desert floor. Northward, the terrain opens into flatlands including Poverty Flat and Dads Flat, providing a sharp contrast to the narrow corridors of Poison Canyon and Middle Canyon. This survey documents a quiet reach of the river valley where transportation is largely dictated by the natural corridors of Gibbler Gulch and Cactus Park, providing a detailed view of the area's geography at the start of the 2010s.
