2022 Map of Fruita

About this map

Fruita and the surrounding Grand Valley are defined by a complex irrigation network essential to this semi-arid region. The Government Highline Canal and the Main Line Grand Valley Canal arc across the landscape, drawing from the Colorado River to support agricultural development north of the river's bend. This modern survey illustrates the proximity of Grand Junction to the east and the natural barriers of Red Rocks and Kodels Canyon to the southwest. Local history is anchored at Elmwood Cem and Sacred Heart Cem, while various washes such as Big Salt Wash and Hunter Wash cut through the valley floor. The map highlights the transition from the structured street grid of Fruita, with roads like E Aspen Ave and W Ottley Ave, to the more expansive rural tracts and canyons beyond.
