2016 Map of Gypsum

About this map

Gypsum serves as the focal point of this Eagle County landscape, situated where Gypsum Creek joins the Eagle River. The 2016 terrain is defined by a sophisticated network of irrigation systems critical to the valley's development, including the Chatfield and Bartholomew Ditch, Casper Schumm Ditch, and Stemme and Gates Ditch. These waterways trace the lower elevations near the Eagle County Regional Airport, while the northern reaches of the map climb toward Greenhorn Mountain. Local history is anchored by the Cedar Hill Memorial Cemetery and numerous named drainages like Greenhorn Gulch and Tenderfoot Gulch. The settlement pattern reflects modern expansion along the river corridor, with residential areas such as Cotton Ranch and various industrial sites supporting the regional transportation hub.
