1955 Map of Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Plateau Creek Valley dominates this 1950s survey of western Colorado, where high plateaus like Kimbell Mesa and Long Point descend into a network of gulches and flats. This era shows a landscape in transition, documenting numerous defunct farmsteads including the Eddington Homestead, Harris Homestead, and Carver Homestead. These abandoned sites, along with the Ray Ball Homestead and Frank Ball Homestead, suggest a period of consolidation or agricultural retreat in the mid-century canyon country. In the southeast, the settlement of Mesa serves as a local hub near Mesa Creek, while specific landmarks like the Mesa Tree and John Held Corner provide precise coordinates for family researchers. The map also records early industrial presence with a lone Oil Well situated north of Black Mountain.
