1959 Map of Montrose
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
The Continental Divide anchors this high-altitude landscape, where the headwaters of the Gunnison River and Arkansas River flow through the heart of the Colorado Rockies. In the late 1950s, the region was defined by a network of mountain settlements and vital transport corridors like the Denver & Rio Grande Western RR. Large tracts of the Gunnison National Forest and Uncompahgre National Forest dominate the terrain, separated by dramatic landforms such as the West Elk Mountains and the Sawatch Range.
