1963 Map of Stoner

About this map

Stoner serves as the focal point of this 1963 survey, situated at the confluence of the West Dolores River and its upland canyons. The landscape is defined by the high plateaus of Stoner Mesa, Taylor Mesa, and Haycamp Mesa, where a complex network of reservoirs and springs supported the local timber and ranching economy. Significant infrastructure for livestock and transit is evident, including the Loading Pen and the Old RR Grade that follows the river's path, tracing the route of former narrow-gauge logging or mining operations.
