2013 Map of Carbondale

About this map

Carbondale and the surrounding Garfield County landscape are defined by the confluence of the Roaring Fork River and the Crystal River. In this early 21st-century documentation, the valley floor shows a complex network of agricultural and municipal water management, including the Sweet Jessup Canal, Rockford Ditch, and Glenwood Ditch, which support the pastures and ranchlands climbing toward Red Hill. The residential development of Carbondale is contrasted by smaller outlying settlements like Satank and Catherine. For those researching local families, several burial grounds are clearly marked, including Weaver Cem, Fisher Cem, and Carbondale Cem. The presence of the Glen-Aspen Airport and various gulches like Holland Gulch and Barbers Gulch illustrate the varied topography between the river basin and the rising foothills of the Elk Mountains.
