1968 Map of Gem Village

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Southern Ute Agency and the Southern Ute Indian Reservation Boundary anchor this late 1960s landscape in La Plata County. The map details a complex irrigation network vital to the high-desert economy, featuring the King Consolidated Ditch, Morrison Ditch, and Pioneer Ditch. While the Old Railroad Grade marks the former path of rail transport through the southern valleys, the modern era is represented by the County Airport and the Drive-in Theater near the junction of Ignacio Creek and Rock Creek. Settlement patterns are concentrated around Bayfield, Gem Village, and Oxford, while the southeastern corner focuses on the institutional and community presence at Ignacio. Local history and genealogy are supported by the mapping of the Chieftan Mem and Ouray Memorial Cem near Ute Park.
