1955 Map of Red Rock Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

The Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Monument dominates this mid-century survey, revealing the dramatic convergence of vertical geology and hydraulic engineering. The Gunnison River carves through the landscape, flanked by prominent features such as Warner Point and the towering Red Rocks. A significant focus is placed on the region's water infrastructure, including the State Tunnel (Abandoned) and the State Tunnel Dam, which highlight early efforts to divert water from the canyon to the surrounding agricultural plains.
