1954 Map of Sapinero

Away from the water, the map traces the high-country landscape of the Gunnison National Forest. Scattered outposts like the Sapinero Ranger Sta and the Elizondo Ranch provide anchors for local history and genealogy research in this remote terrain. The western edge of the sheet captures the dramatic narrowing of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison near Morrow Point Reservoir, while networks of Jeep Trails offer a look at the backcountry access routes of the mid-20th century.
