Montrose serves as the northern anchor for this regional study, which tracks the Uncompahgre River corridor south toward the high peaks. The influence of the Denver and Rio Grande Western RR is evident throughout the valley, linking settlements like Colona, Eldredge, and Ridgway. This rail-and-river network supported a diverse economy of ranching and extraction, evidenced by labels for the Sawmill in the Log Hill Mesa area and the Blaine Mine to the south.
