2022 Map of Carbondale

About this map

The Carbondale valley floor is a complex network of agricultural and municipal water management where the Crystal River joins the Roaring Fork River. This 2022 survey details the extensive irrigation infrastructure supporting the region, including the Kaiser-Sievers Ditch, Rockford Ditch, and Sweet Jessup Canal. The landscape is marked by historic burial grounds like Evergreen Cem and the Carbondale Cem - White Hill Cem, while the northern uplands around Red Hill are defined by an intricate system of recreation paths like the Northside Loop Trl and Elk Traverse Trl. Settlements such as Satank, Mulford, and Catherine dot the river corridors, reflecting the area's transition from traditional ranching roots to a modern educational and residential hub anchored by Colorado Mountain College Carbondale.
