1955 Map of Lazear
USGS Topo · Published 1957About this map
Rogers Mesa and Redlands Mesa define the high agricultural character of this Western Slope landscape, where intricate irrigation systems like the Durkee Ditch and Fire Mountain Canal support orchards and homesteads. The mid-1950s cultural geography is marked by transition, with both the West Redlands Sch and Rogers Mesa Sch noted as abandoned, while the Rogers Mesa Community House remains a central landmark. The southern reaches of the map are dominated by the deep relief of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison and the confluence where the North Fork Gunnison River meets the main stem. Transportation and industry are anchored by the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad line passing through Lazear, serving a region that includes a Sulphur Mine and the Rainbow Run Trout Farm.
