About this map

The confluence of the Colorado River and the Gunnison River anchors this 2010 survey of the western slope’s primary urban center. The city of Grand Junction is shown in high detail alongside surrounding residential and agricultural communities like Orchard Mesa, Rosevale, and Appleton. A complex irrigation network, essential to the region's famous fruit-growing heritage, is clearly visible through labels for the Grand Valley Canal, Government Highline Canal, and Orchard Mesa Canal Number 2.

Genealogists and local historians can locate several burial grounds including Calvary Cemetery and the Independent Order of Odd Fellows and Masonic Cemetery. To the south and west, the landscape transitions from the urban grid into dramatic terrain, featuring No Thoroughfare Canyon and Red Canyon. Specialized landmarks such as Walker Field, the Grand Speedway, and Uranium Downs reflect the diverse economic and recreational activities of Mesa County during this era.
