The Uncompahgre River valley serves as the primary corridor for settlement and transit at the start of the twentieth century, anchored by the regional hub of Montrose. Along the river banks, the Denver and Rio Grande RR links several small stop-points including Eldredge, Colona, and Bachelor Switch as the line moves south toward Ouray. The map captures a landscape defined by significant irrigation and mining infrastructure, notably the Cimarron Ditch and the Blaine Mine located near Whitehouse Mtn.
