1962 Map of Corcoran Point

USGS Topo · Published 1969

About this map

Corcoran Mine and Thomas Mine sit among the elevated terrain of the northern desert landscape, marking a period of active resource extraction in this corner of Mesa County. The irrigation infrastructure in the south reflects the vital water management of the era, dominated by the Government Highline Canal and the Grand Valley Canal. These engineered waterways contrast with the natural drainages of Adobe Creek and Hunter Wash, which cut through the arid flats toward the valley floor. Near the southern boundary, Walker Field and a nearby Substation indicate the developing regional infrastructure. Local history is anchored by the Crown Point Cem and a network of unimproved tracks like the Main Line Road, which connected isolated operations such as the Gibson Mine and Lumber Mutual Mine to the broader valley transport system.
