1962 Map of North Delta

USGS Topo · Published 1966

About this map

The Gunnison River and Uncompahgre River converge in a landscape of high mesas and agricultural irrigation south of the Grand Mesa Nat For. In the early 1960s, this area reflects a complex water management system essential for high-desert farming, characterized by the North Delta Canal, Hartland Ditch, and Garnet Canal. The settlement of North Delta serves as a local hub, supported by the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad tracks running parallel to the river valley. Local landmarks such as the Mt Gilead Bethel Ch, Blake Field, and the Memory Gardens Cemetery provide specific points of interest for genealogists and local historians. To the north, the terrain rises sharply toward January Mesa and Beebe Mesa, while the Adobe Buttes and Devils Thumb mark the distinct geological character of the Colorado Western Slope.
