1963 Map of Durango East

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad corridor tracks the winding course of the Animas River, anchoring the settlement of Durango against a backdrop of dramatic vertical relief. This early 1960s landscape shows the city’s expansion northward and eastward, with institutional anchors like Fort Lewis College and Riverview Sch positioned on the rising benches above the river valley. The map documents an intricate network of water management, including the Farmers Ditch, Reid Ditch, and Florida Canal, which supported the agricultural development of the surrounding Florida Mesa.
