2016 Map of Palisade

About this map

The town of Palisade serves as the central hub of this 2016 survey, situated where the high desert terrain meets the irrigated agricultural lands of the Grand Valley. This specific map illustrates the intricate water management system essential to the region, showing the routes of the Highline Canal, various ditches, and the winding path of the Colorado River. The proximity of the town to the dramatic slopes of the Palisade Rim highlights the unique geography that defines this fruit-growing district. Modern infrastructure, including the Interstate 70 corridor and established residential blocks, is documented alongside the open landscapes and canyons to the east, providing a clear view of the community's footprint in the mid-2010s.
