1954 Map of Iola

USGS Topo · Published 1963

About this map

The Gunnison River winds through the northern portion of this mid-century survey, a landscape defined by ranching and high-altitude water management before the landscape was altered by dam projects. The settlement of Iola sits along the riverbanks, served by a nearby Landing Strip and a network of irrigation works labeled simply as Ditch. Small ranching outposts and settlements like Hierro, Elkhorn, and Shaw Ranch are connected by a mix of light-duty roads and a designated Jeep Trail, illustrating the remote nature of Western Colorado's cattle country during the 1950s.
