1962 Map of Montrose West

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Uncompahgre River and the Denver and Rio Grande Western corridor anchor the eastern edge of this landscape during the early 1960s, documenting the expansion of Montrose and its surrounding rural infrastructure. This map captures a transition from the developing urban fringe near the County Airport to the established agricultural and ranching lands of the Shavano Valley. Notable local institutions such as the Maple Grove School and Grandview Cemetery appear alongside the small settlement of Oak Grove, serving as vital anchors for genealogical research in this part of Montrose County. The terrain is defined by a network of mesas and deep drainages, including Franklin Mesa and DeVinney Canyon, while the complex irrigation system of the West Canal reflects the intensive land management required to support the local valley economy.
