1960 Map of Rulison

About this map

The Colorado River corridor dominates this 1960s landscape, serving as the primary artery for transport and energy exploration in Garfield County. Along its northern banks, the Denver and Rio Grande Western River railroad tracks parallel the water, passing the settlement of Rulison and the industrial activity of the Naval Oil Shale Reserve. This era marks a significant point in local resource extraction, evidenced by the presence of a Gas Well and a Stone Quarry tucked into the rising terrain.
