2019 Map of Hotchkiss

About this map

The North Fork Gunnison River carves a central path through this Delta County landscape, where the town of Hotchkiss serves as a hub for the surrounding plateau country. The terrain is defined by a series of prominent elevations, including Powell Mesa, Rogers Mesa, and Sunshine Mesa, which reflect the region's characteristic flat-topped geography. An intricate network of irrigation systems, such as the Fire Mountain Canal, Farmers Ditch, and Short Ditch, indicates the intensive agricultural management required to sustain this high-altitude valley. Local landmarks include the Fair Grounds and Riverside Cem near the town center, while aviation activity is noted at North Fork Valley Airport and Boeing Field. Small settlements and named heights like Duke Hill and Knob Hill provide specific points of interest for local history and genealogy research.
