1955 Map of Red Rock Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

The Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Monument dominates this mid-1950s survey, capturing the dramatic topography where the Gunnison River carves through ancient rock. The map meticulously records the federal Monument Boundary and key lookout positions like Warner Point. To the south, the landscape shifts into the agricultural and irrigation-focused plateaus of North Mesa and Flat Top, where the Loutzenhizer Canal and various ditches indicate the intensive water management required for ranching in this high-altitude environment.
