2022 Map of Delta

About this map

The confluence of the Gunnison River and Uncompahgre River anchors this regional hub in western Colorado. The city of Delta is shown in detail, centered around the Delta County Courthouse and a grid of streets including Main St and Grand Ave. The surrounding landscape is defined by elevated landforms like Garnet Mesa, Ash Mesa, and California Mesa, which are interconnected by an intricate network of irrigation features such as the Ironstone Canal and numerous laterals. This engineering infrastructure transformed the arid terrain into a productive agricultural zone, supported by local landmarks like Sweitzer Lake and the Sky Island Ranch Airport. Family history researchers can locate several burial grounds in the outlying areas, including Delta Cem, Pea Green Cem, and Ash Mesa Cem, which serve as quiet markers of the rural communities established throughout the river valleys.
