About this map

Black Canyon of the Gunnison dominates this mid-century survey, showcasing the dramatic elevation changes where the Gunnison River carves through the Colorado landscape. At the center of the canyon stands the Curecanti Needle, a prominent landmark within the Curecanti National Recreation Area. The map reveals a transition in land use, from the managed timber of the Gunnison National Forest to isolated homesteads and ranching outposts.
