1962 Map of Delta
USGS Topo · Published 1978About this map
The confluence of the Gunnison River and Uncompahgre River anchors this early 1960s survey, highlighting the agricultural and transit infrastructure of Western Colorado. Irrigation is central to the landscape, with a vast network of laterals and canals serving California Mesa, Garnet Mesa, and Ash Mesa, all supported by the Garnet Mesa Reservoir. The city of Delta serves as the regional hub, showing a developed street grid including the Armory, High Sch, and a Hospital situated along the Denver and Rio Grande Western RR. Further south, the map documents rural life at Pea Green Corner and the Delta Co Montrose Co boundary, where local landmarks like Pea Green Cem, Columbine Sch, and the Ch of the First Born provide valuable reference points for genealogists and local historians.
