1956 Map of Cimarron

USGS Topo · Published 1962

About this map

Black Canyon of the Gunnison River cuts a deep, dramatic path across this mid-century topographic study, defining the transition between the high plateaus of Black Mesa and Poverty Mesa. The settlement of Cimarron sits as a central node where Cimarron Creek meets the river canyon, reflecting a landscape defined by water management and early transportation. An Old Railroad Grade winds through the hills north of the creek, tracing the vanished route of the narrow-gauge tracks that once connected this remote region.
