2013 Map of Red Rock Canyon

About this map

Gunnison River carving through the Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Park defines the dramatic northeastern geography of this Colorado quadrangle. The map reveals the sharp contrast between the deep chasm of Red Rock Canyon and the surrounding high terrain of Green Mountain and Warner Point. Human activity in the area is concentrated along the irrigation networks and flatter mesas, where the Loutsenhizer Canal and various laterals, such as A B Lateral, support local agriculture near Bostwick Park. The western portion of the sheet is dominated by distinct topographic features like North Mesa and Flat Top, while the namesake Red Rocks sit centrally. A sparse but essential road network, including Landfill Rd and La Salle Rd, connects these high-desert landscapes.
