1969 Map of Dominguez

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Gunnison River carves a deep path through this canyon-cut landscape on the boundary of Mesa and Delta Counties. This 1969 field-checked survey highlights the vital transit corridor established by the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad, which follows the river's winding course. Small riverside locations like Peeples, Broughton, and Dominguez appear as critical points along the rail line and water source. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes, from the broad McCarty Bench and Leonards Basin to the prominent Dominguez Rim. Water management in this arid environment is evident through several upland features such as County Line Reservoir, Rocky Wash Reservoir, and Dominguez Rim Reservoir, while the legacy of early movement is preserved in the network of jeep trails and (pack) trails that navigate the ridges and gulches.
