2013 Map of Granby

About this map

Granby serves as a central hub in this high-altitude landscape, situated where the Colorado River meets the Fraser River. The settlement pattern follows the valley floors, with the Granby-Grand County Airport and the Sulphur District Ranger Office anchoring the town's infrastructure. To the west, the Windy Gap Reservoir and its surrounding gap provide a gateway for water management via the Bunte Highline Ditch. The southern reaches of the map transition into the Arapaho National Forest, dominated by topographic landmarks like Ninemile Mountain and Mount Chauncey. Local history is preserved at the Eightmile School and Granby Cem, while the modern recreation economy is evident in the Silver Creek Ski Area and Tabernash Campground. This map documents a complex mountain geography where hydraulic engineering, ranching-era schools, and modern alpine tourism coexist.
