1960 Map of Rulison

USGS Topo · Published 1984

About this map

Morrisania Mesa and the settlement of Rulison occupy the northern portion of this landscape, situated between the Colorado River and the high plateaus of the White River National Forest. The presence of the Naval Oil Shale Reserve and a Gas Well near Dry Creek highlights the region's long-standing connection to resource extraction. Transport is defined by the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad skirting the riverbank, while an Old Railroad Grade and various trails suggest older routes through the terrain. The topography rises sharply from the river valley toward Battlement Mesa, punctuated by landmarks like Doghead Mountain and Houston Mountain. Water management is evident through the Hallett Ditch and several named drainages, including Cottonwood Creek and Spruce Creek.
