1955 Map of Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Mesa serves as the primary settlement in this 1950s survey of the western Colorado landscape, situated where Mesa Creek meets the broader Plateau Valley. The map is a remarkable genealogical resource, documenting a series of remote residences across the high desert terrain, including the Atwell Homestead and the Morris Ranch. Several sites are already noted as out of use by the mid-century, such as the Harris Homestead, Eddington Homestead, and the Carver Homestead. A notable landmark for local historians is the Marker Tree, designated as a historical site south of town. The topography is defined by significant elevations like Black Mountain and Chalk Mountain, while the drainage of Plateau Creek carves through the center of the quadrangle, flanked by prominent flats including Silvey Flats and Windger Flats.
