1913 Map of Red Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1948

About this map

The La Plata River carves a deep valley through this Southwest Colorado landscape, defining the agricultural and social development of the Red Mesa region just before World War I. This 1911 survey illustrates a community reliant on intricate irrigation systems like the Durango Ditch and Pruett Ditch to sustain high-altitude farming. Small rural hubs such as Kline, Redmesa, and Breen are centers of gravity for the local population, supported by essential institutions including the Mormon Church, Binner School, and Rockville School.
