1968 Map of Mirage

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

Agricultural development and early transit routes define this Saguache County landscape in the late 1960s. The settlement of Mirage serves as a central point for a sophisticated network of irrigation systems, including the Shellabarger Eaton Ditch and the Wales Travis Ditch, which redirect water from alpine drainages like Rito Alto Creek across the valley floor. Evidence of the region’s shifting infrastructure is visible in the Old Railroad Grade running through the southern section, marking a former rail corridor that once supported the local economy.
