2019 Map of Uncompahgre Butte

About this map

Uncompahgre National Forest encompasses this high-elevation landscape on the Uncompahgre Plateau, where the terrain is defined by deep canyons and prominent mesas. The drainage network is complex, with Blue Creek and its tributary Mailbox Br Blue Cr carving through the northern reaches, while S Fork Mesa Cr and Little Johnson Cr dominate the southern aspect. High points like Uncompahgre Butte and Leonards Ridge provide significant landmarks within this managed wilderness. Localized features such as California Spring and Campbell Lake offer critical water sources in an otherwise arid environment characterized by features like Triangle Mesa and the Coyote Basin. The presence of the Mailbox Road and Smith Access suggests the continuing importance of these routes for forest management and local access across the township boundaries of t50n r17w and t50n r16w.
