2010 Map of Gypsum

About this map

The Gypsum townsite serves as the central hub of this 2010 survey, positioned along the banks of the Eagle River. The landscape is defined by its water management systems, featuring a complex network of irrigation channels including the Stremme and Gates Ditch, Casper Schumm Ditch, and the Chatfield and Bartholomew Ditch. These ditches reflect the area's agricultural history and the essential role of water rights in this high-elevation terrain. North of the river, the topography rises sharply toward Greenhorn Mountain, dissected by numerous drainage features such as Agnew Gulch and Greenhorn Gulch. Modern infrastructure like the Eagle County Regional Airport and Red Hill Beacon Rd contrasts with local landmarks like the Cedar Hill Cemetery, providing a detailed view of the community's evolution near the confluence of Gypsum Creek and the main river valley.
