About this map

The town of Gypsum serves as the central hub of this mountain landscape, concentrated along the Eagle River corridor and its south-flowing tributaries like Gypsum Creek. This survey captures the town's modern footprint including the Eagle County Regional Airport and the residential expansion of the Cotton Ranch area. Significant irrigation infrastructure is mapped along the river valley, with the Casper Schumm Ditch, Stremme and Gates Ditch, and CKP Ditch illustrating the complex water management required for agriculture and development in this arid high-country environment.

Elevations rise sharply away from the valley floor toward landmarks such as Greenhorn Mountain in the northeast and the drainage of Greenhorn Creek. Genealogists and local historians will find the Cedar Hill Memorial Cemetery prominently marked just south of the river. The map also details numerous gulches, such as Tenderfoot Gulch and Sheep Gulch, which define the rugged breaks in the terrain surrounding the settlement.
