1965 Map of Bowie
USGS Topo · Published 1971About this map
The North Fork Gunnison River carves through this Delta County landscape, defining a corridor of industrial and agricultural activity in the mid-1960s. The settlement of Bowie serves as a focal point for the local coal economy, supported by the Bowie Mine and the nearby Juanita Junction along the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad. These tracks parallel the river, connecting the mines to broader markets while local irrigation works like the Stewart Ditch and Minnesota Canal divert water to the agricultural benches of Garvin Mesa and Pitkin Mesa.
