2010 Map of Montrose East

About this map

The Uncompahgre River defines the western edge of this landscape, its waters diverted through an intricate network of irrigation systems including the Montrose and Delta Canal and the Loutsenhizer Canal. This complex engineering of the arid Colorado high desert is further detailed by numerous smaller branches like the A M Lateral and South Canal, which support agriculture around the developing fringes of Montrose. Local history is anchored by several burial grounds, from Cedar Cemetery in the north to the Button Cemetery further south, and the Uncompahgre Memorial Gardens near the river. Beyond the residential grid, the map shows industrial and recreational sites such as the Corey Gravel Pit and the Montrose Golf Course, alongside rural landmarks like Woods Stolport and the settlements of Fairview and Vernal.
