1956 Map of Cimarron

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Gunnison River carves a dramatic course through the Black Canyon in this mid-century survey of Montrose County. The landscape is defined by its deep drainage networks and the stark elevation changes between the canyon floor and high features like Poverty Mesa and Black Mesa. In the valley, the settlement of Cimarron serves as a central hub for the surrounding ranching and forest lands, with infrastructure such as the Cimarron Ditch and Collier Ditch illustrating the complex water management required for high-altitude agriculture.
