1955 Map of Lazear

About this map

Rogers Mesa serves as a central hub of agricultural activity in this 1955 survey of Delta County, where intricate irrigation systems like the Fire Mountain Canal and Durkee Ditch traverse the landscape. The settlement of Lazear is anchored by the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad, which follows the North Fork of the Gunnison River. The geography is defined by a series of prominent benches including Redlands Mesa, Shamrock Mesa, and Oak Mesa, which are separated by deep drainages like Stingley Gulch and Leroux Creek.
