1908 Map of Uncompahgre

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

The Gunnison River carves a deep path through this landscape, centered on the Black Canyon and a series of high mesas. In the early 20th century, the Denver and Rio Grande Railroad followed the river's course, connecting early ranching and mining outposts like Sapinero and Cebolla. The map reveals a transition from the lower river valley to the high alpine reaches of the Gunnison National Forest and Uncompahgre National Forest, where industry takes the form of scattered timber and mineral operations.
