1969 Map of Triangle Mesa

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Gunnison River canyons and high plateaus dominate this late 1960s survey of the western Colorado landscape. The settlement of Bridgeport sits near the river's edge, served by the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad which snakes through the canyon floor. The topography is defined by massive formations like Triangle Mesa, Horse Mesa, and Long Mesa, carved out by complex drainage systems including Big Dominguez Creek and Little Dominguez Creek. Evidence of industrial activity and exploration appears through a labeled Shaft, various Prospects, and a Tunnel near Tunnel Point. The map also captures the vast, arid character of Cactus Park and the network of primitive Jeep Trails that provided access to these remote tablelands before more modern development reached the area.
