1956 Map of Cimarron

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

The Black Canyon of the Gunnison creates a dramatic landscape where the Gunnison River carves through deep geological formations. This 1956 survey, updated with revisions through 1983, documents the dramatic transformation of the river valley following the construction of the Morrow Point Dam, which created the Morrow Point Reservoir within the Curecanti National Recreation Area. These water management projects dominate the northern half of the map, contrasting with the agrarian and transport history visible to the south.
