1892 Map of Canon City

USGS Topo · Published 1909

About this map

The Arkansas River carves a dramatic path through this late 19th-century landscape, passing through the Grand Canyon of the Arkansas and the iconic Royal Gorge. Below these heights, Canon City serves as a hub for the competing Atchison Topeka and Santa Fe Railroad and the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad, which follow the river east toward Florence. To the south, the industrial character shifts from rail-fed river commerce to high-altitude mining operations.
