1962 Map of Colorado National Monument

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Independence Monument and the spire-studded canyons of the Colorado National Monument dominate this 1962 topographic survey. The high desert landscape is defined by its verticality, featuring dramatic overlooks such as Cold Shivers Point and Artists Point, and unique formations like the Kissing Couple and Balanced Rock. Below the red-rock cliffs, the northern portion of the map shows a stark transition to the irrigated agriculture of the Grand Valley, where the South Highline Canal and Second Lift Canal feed the growing community of Redlands.
