1968 Map of Loma Linda

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Florida Mesa dominates the landscape south of the Animas River, where a complex network of irrigation ditches like the Florida Canal and Lone Pine Ditch supports the region's agriculture. The late 1960s witnessed a mixture of rural homesteads and emerging suburban developments such as Loma Linda and Piñon Acres. Transport and utility infrastructure is prominent, with the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad skirting the mesa's edge near Carbon Junction, while the southern reaches feature the Ignacio Plant and several scattered gas wells. Local community life is anchored by the Florida Mesa Sch and the Crestview Memorial Garden. The eastern boundary is defined by the Florida River and the Southern Ute Indian Reservation Boundary, illustrating the intersection of natural water resources and historical land divisions.
