1955 Map of Black Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1980

About this map

The Black Canyon of the Gunnison cuts a dramatic path through this 1955 survey of the Colorado landscape, where the Gunnison River meets the Smith Fork. The map reveals a complex system of high-altitude water management essential for Western agriculture, including the Scenic Mesa Ditch and the Fruitland Mesa Ditch feeding onto Fruitland Mesa. Evidence of light aviation and backcountry travel is visible via a remote Landing Strip and various Jeep Trails that traverse Black Ridge.
