1965 Map of Cedaredge
USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
Cedaredge serves as the focal point for this mid-1960s landscape, where the agriculture of the valley floor meets the industrial activity of the surrounding mesas. The terrain is defined by an intricate network of irrigation, including the Orchard Aqueduct, Granby Ditch, and Big Ditch, which channel water from the high slopes of the Grand Mesa National Forest to the settlements below. This water system supported the growth of small communities like Colby and Brimstone Corner during a time when local industry was heavily tied to small-scale mining.
