The Uncompahgre River corridor in Montrose County serves as the central artery for this agricultural and aviation landscape. A complex network of irrigation infrastructure, including the Loutsenhizer Canal, Selig Canal, and Ironstone Canal, reveals how water management enabled the settlement of the high mesas. From the town of Olathe in the north to the expanding edge of Montrose in the southeast, the map documents a mix of historic rural communities and modern regional utility.
