2013 Map of Royal Gorge

About this map

The Royal Gorge Bridge spans the massive chasm carved by Grape Cr, serving as the central landmark for this topographic study of the Fremont County landscape. The area around Cañon City is defined by complex water management and high-altitude terrain, featuring the S Canon Ditch and the De Weese-Dye Ditch that skirt the city's western edge. The map captures a mix of preserved public lands and early settlement sites, from the borders of the San Isabel National Forest to the historical location of Buckskin Joe. Notable peaks like Fremont Peak and Baldy Mountain rise above the network of gulches and canyons, while the Hot Springs area near the river illustrates the region's long-standing draw for visitors and residents alike.
