1962 Map of De Beque

About this map

The town of De Beque serves as a central hub along the Colorado River in this 1962 survey, where the river's path is closely followed by the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad. This region is characterized by an extensive network of water management, visible through the Bluestone Valley Ditch and Reservoir Ditch No 2, which support the high desert valley. The landscape rises sharply toward the south and east, transitioning into the White River National Forest and Grand Mesa National Forest.
