1954 Map of Sapinero

About this map

Gunnison River flows through the deep gorge of the Black Canyon in this mid-century survey of the high mesas. The small settlement of Sapinero and the Sapinero Ranger Sta are central landmarks, situated near the Sapinero Cemetery and an Abandoned roadway section that hints at the area's changing transportation corridor. The landscape is defined by massive plateau features like Soap Mesa, Sapinero Mesa, and Blue Mesa, which are dissected by steep gulches and creek beds.
