2011 Map of Cimarron

About this map

The settlement of Cimarron sits at the heart of this Montrose County landscape, where the Gunnison River and the Cimarron River converge amidst a network of high mesas and deep gulches. Modern infrastructure, represented by the Morrow Point Dam and the Crystal Reservoir, stands alongside legacies of early development like the Cimarron Ditch and Collier Ditch. The presence of the District Number 9 School and the Cimarron Post Office marks the community center, while the Goat Hill Mine reflects the area's historical extraction activity. This survey captures a region defined by its water management and agricultural irrigation, with prominent terrain features such as Poverty Mesa and Diehl Point overlooking the river valleys. Recreation is also central to the area's character, evidenced by the Mesa Creek Campground and Cimarron Campground near the banks of the Morrow Point Reservoir.
