USGS Topo · Published 1967About this map
The North Fork Gunnison River carves a deep valley through this mid-1960s landscape, serving as the industrial corridor for the coal mining community of Somerset. Along the river banks, the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad provides the vital transport link for local extraction operations, including the Bear Mine, Oliver Mine, and Clark Mine. Infrastructure like the Mountain Canal, a filtration plant, and a power plant support the concentrated settlement and industry within the narrow canyon floor.
