About this map

Curecanti National Recreation Area and the Gunnison National Forest define this landscape, where the Gunnison River carves through the Black Canyon of the Gunnison. The 2001 revision illustrates the complex water management infrastructure of the era, centered on the Crystal Reservoir and Morrow Point Reservoir. Industrial footprints are visible at the Morrow Point Dam and the nearby Substation, supporting regional power and irrigation needs.

Away from the deep canyons, the settlement of Cimarron serves as a local hub, with surrounding rural details like the District No 9 Sch and a local Cem providing points of interest for genealogists. The map also records early water rights and agricultural engineering through features such as the Cimmarron Canal and Collier Ditch, which redirect flow from the Cimarron River and Little Cimarron River across the varied elevations of Poverty Mesa and Diehl Point.
