USGS Topo · Published 1981About this map
The Colorado River and Gunnison River converge at the heart of this 1981 survey, defining the development of the Grand Valley. Irrigation and agricultural patterns are evident in the sprawling orchards and settlements of Orchard Mesa, Palisade, and Fruita. The Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad follows the river corridor, serving the industrial needs of the Cameo Mine and Palisade Mines near the narrow passage of De Beque Canyon.
