1954 Map of Carpenter Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Blue Mesa Reservoir dominates this landscape, reflecting the mid-century transformation of the Gunnison River valley. While much of the terrain is defined by high tablelands like Sapinero Mesa and the long spine of Carpenter Ridge, the water's edge reveals traces of earlier ranching and mining life. Revisions shown in purple indicate the reservoir's later reach as it filled the canyon floors, fundamentally altering the geography around the confluence of the Lake Fork Gunnison River and Cebolla Creek.
