1955 Map of Red Rock Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Black Canyon of the Gunnison National Monument dominates this mid-century topographic record, capturing the dramatic verticality of the Gunnison River gorge. The map details the transition from the high, plateau-like terrain of North Mesa and Flat Top into the sharp descent of the canyon walls. Water management and resource extraction are evident through the presence of a canal, several ditches, and an abandoned mine, reflecting the region's agricultural and industrial history.
