1954 Map of Iris NW

USGS Topo · Published 1955

About this map

High-elevation drainages and remote mountain terrain define this 1954 topographic study of the borderlands between Gunnison Co Saguache Co. The landscape is dominated by the complex watershed of Gold Basin Creek and South Beaver Creek, where seasonal streams carve deep through the uplands. A notable human element in this largely unsettled area is the Landing Field (Emergency), a critical navigational point for aviators crossing the Colorado Rockies during the mid-century era.
