1959 Map of Royal Gorge

USGS Topo · Published 1961

About this map

The Arkansas River carves a dramatic path through the Royal Gorge, serving as the primary corridor for the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad. This industrial and transit hub is anchored by Canon City on the eastern edge, where the State Penitentiary and the winding Skyline Drive overlook the surrounding Gorge Hills. The landscape reveals a mix of active sites and local history, from the Miniature RR near the gorge rim to several locations marked as historical sites, including Sunset City (Site) and Yorkville (Site).
