About this map

Colorado National Monument dominates this landscape, showcasing the dramatic transition from the high desert plateau of Black Ridge down to the Colorado River valley. This 1962 field-checked survey highlights the intricate system of monoliths and canyons, including Independence Monument and Monument Canyon, which had already become established landmarks for visitors. The infrastructure of the park is well-defined, featuring the winding Rim Rock Drive and the historic Serpents Trail, alongside the West Entrance and East Entrance facilities.
