1963 Map of Dallas

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The Uncompahgre River corridor serves as the primary artery for travel and industry in this portion of Colorado, anchored by the settlement of Dallas. This early 1960s survey documents a landscape where traditional water management through systems like Alkali Ditch NO 1 and Sneva Ditch NO 1 sustains the valley floors. Transportation history is deeply layered here, featuring the active Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad alongside an Old Railroad Grade, indicating shifting routes through the river canyon. Beyond the valley, the terrain rises sharply into the Uncompahgre National Forest, reaching landmarks such as Courthouse Mountain and Ramshorn Ridge. For those interested in local social history, the presence of the Orvis Hot Spring and the County Fairground highlights the area's role as a regional gathering point.
