1967 Map of Ridgway
USGS Topo · Published 1984About this map
The Uncompahgre River defines the eastern edge of this landscape, where the town of Ridgway sits at the confluence with Dallas Creek. The map documents a transition in transportation and land use, showing the Old Railroad Grade and the Old R. R. Grade tracing the river valley while a network of modern roads and irrigation features like the Dallas Ditch serve the surrounding agricultural flats. Above the town, the terrain rises sharply to Log Hill Mesa and Miller Mesa, separated by deep drainage cuts such as Negro Creek and Fisher Creek. Genealogists and local historians can locate the Dallas Park Cem and several named water sources used by early ranchers, including McKean Spring and Danforth Spring, alongside the high-altitude Fisher Camp and several unnamed mine sites that point to the area's extraction history.
