1960 Map of Rulison

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

Morrisania Mesa and the settlement of Rulison anchor this 1960s survey of the Colorado River valley, where agricultural benches meet industrial resource extraction. The landscape is defined by the sharp transition from the river corridor—serviced by the Denver and Rio Grande Western River—to the high elevations of Holms Mesa and the White River National Forest. Evidence of the region’s energy history is prominent, specifically within the Naval Oil Shale Reserve and the presence of scattered Gas Wells.
