1954 Map of Carpenter Ridge

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

Blue Mesa Reservoir dominates the northern landscape of this mid-century survey, its deep purple revisions showing the extent of water backing up behind the dam across the Gunnison River and into the Cebolla Creek arm. The terrain is defined by the massive uplift of Carpenter Ridge and Sapinero Mesa, which flank the narrow, deeply cut river valleys. This map captures a significant moment of change as the rising waters began to alter the accessibility of the region's ranching and mining sites.
