1956 Map of Curecanti Needle

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Black Canyon of the Gunnison dominates the center of this terrain, where the Gunnison River carves through the landscape below Fitzpatrick Mesa and Soap Mesa. The dramatic Curecanti Needle stands near the confluence of Curecanti Creek and the Morrow Point Reservoir. This mid-century survey documents a rugged ranching and recreation landscape, marked by remote outposts like McLeod Ranch and Knott Ranch in the north, and the Halfway House along the eastern Blue Creek.
