2016 Map of Triangle Mesa

About this map

Bridgeport sits at a strategic bend where the Gunnison River carves through the sandstone plateaus of the Uncompahgre Uplift. This area is defined by its dramatic verticality, where the water has etched deep incisions like Dominguez Canyon and Poison Canyon into a series of massive flat-topped features including Triangle Mesa, Long Mesa, and Steamboat Mesa. The complex drainage system of Big Dominguez Cr and its Dry Fork provides vital corridors through the high desert, long utilized for movement across the landscape.
