1955 Map of Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Plateau Creek carves a deep valley through the high country of Western Colorado, anchoring a landscape where post-war ranching met the remains of earlier pioneer efforts. By the mid-1950s, the small settlement of Mesa served as the primary hub for this stretch of the Plateau Valley, while numerous family sites like the Atwell Homestead and Morris Ranch remained active. The map records a shift in the high-desert economy, noting several earlier pioneer sites as abandoned, including the Eddington Homestead and Carver Homestead.
