2019 Map of North Delta

About this map

The Gunnison River and Tongue Cr confluence anchors this landscape, where the agricultural flats of Delta and North Delta meet the rising plateaus of the western slope. A sophisticated network of irrigation infrastructure, including the Hartland Ditch, N Delta Canal, and Bona Fide Ditch, underscores the region's reliance on water management for its orchards and fields. To the north, the terrain transitions into a series of named mesas and volcanic features, such as Beebe Mesa, Doctor Mesa, and the distinctive Devils Thumb. This 2019 survey documents the expansion of Orchard City and the importance of local aviation at Blake Field. The map provides excellent genealogical detail with the location of Memory Gardens Cem and Mesa View Cem, alongside recreational access through the Confluence Lake Trails near the riverbanks.
