1962 Map of Corcoran Point

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Agricultural development and industrial extraction converge at the northern edge of the Grand Valley in the early 1960s. The landscape is defined by the critical irrigation infrastructure of the Government Highline Canal and Grand Valley Canal, which carve through the arid terrain to support local farming. To the north, the topography rises sharply toward Corcoran Point and Basin Butte, where a cluster of coal operations including the Corcoran Mine, Thomas Mine, and Farmer Mutual Mine indicate the region's mineral heritage. This era shows the expansion of transportation and municipal services, notably with the presence of Walker Field and a nearby substation. Local history is anchored by the Crown Point Cem, while the Ute Principal Meridian serves as a primary surveying benchmark for the surrounding territory.
