USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

The Colorado National Monument dominates this 1962 landscape, showcasing the geological grandeur of Mesa County just south of the Colorado River. The map meticulously details the early infrastructure of the monument, including the Headquarters, the North Entrance, and the winding Serpents Trail. Beyond the protected canyons of Ute Canyon and Monument Canyon, the valley floor reveals the mid-century agricultural and residential development of Redlands. The Denver & Rio Grande Western Road follows the river corridor, highlighting the vital transportation link between the canyon country and the broader region. Local history is anchored by landmarks like the Redlands Sch and the Glade Park Cem, providing a window into the rural community life that persisted alongside the rising tourism of the national monument and its iconic features like Independence Monument.
