1969 Map of Roubideau

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

The Gunnison River carves through the northern reaches of this Colorado landscape, paralleled by the tracks of the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad. The terrain is defined by dramatic elevation changes across Sawmill Mesa and Twentyfive Mile Mesa, where a network of gulches and canyons, such as Potter Creek Canyon, drain toward the river. This 1969 field survey reveals a land utilized for water management and conservation, featuring numerous small-scale water projects like Tatum Reservoir and the Roubideau Conservation Training Camp. The presence of the The Narrows and the remote Cactus Park highlights the challenging geography at the border of Delta and Montrose counties. Roadways like Cottonwood Road and Buttermilk Road provide the primary access through the mesas, connecting isolated springs like Negro Spring No 1 to the more established rail siding at Roubideau.
