USGS Topo · Published 1968About this map
The Gunnison River and its major tributaries carve a complex landscape of deep canyons and high plateaus across this section of the Western Slope. Centered on the hub of Montrose, the map reveals a mid-century network of small agricultural and mining communities like Paonia, Hotchkiss, and the high-alpine Lake City. The engineering of the era is evident in the presence of the Blue Mesa Reservoir, part of the larger water management system on the river.
