1963 Map of Dallas

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

Orvis Hot Spring and the settlement of Dallas anchor this mountain landscape in the early 1960s, where the Uncompahgre River flows through Ouray County. The geography is defined by a complex network of water management and transport, including Alkali Ditch No 1 and Alkali Ditch No 2, alongside the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad Grade. Higher elevations are marked by the Uncompahgre National Forest, reaching toward peaks like Courthouse Mountain and Onion Hill. This survey captures the transition from the river valley's agricultural infrastructure, such as the County Fairground and Gaging Sta, to the high-country drainages of Nate Creek and Cow Creek. For local historians, it provides clear documentation of mid-century land use, including a Landing Strip and various named gulches and draws that shaped the area's development.
