2019 Map of Cerro Summit

About this map

Lujane and the nearby settlement of Cedar Creek sit within a high-elevation landscape defined by significant water management infrastructure in Montrose County. The presence of the Gunnison Tunnel and its West Portal underscore the era's focus on diverting water for agricultural use, supported by a network of irrigation features including the Vernal Mesa Ditch, Hairpin Ditch, and Cimarron Ditch. These engineering works transformed the surrounding basins and parks, such as Upper Bostwick Park and Shinn Park, into viable land.
