Famous areas covered are the Black Canyon of the Gunnison and the Gunnison Gorge. You will receive 1 CD loaded with these maps. Gunnison River: The Gunnison River is a tributary of the Colorado River, approximately 180 mi long, in Colorado. It is the fifth largest tributary of the Colorado River, with a mean flow of 4320 ft³/s. It rises in west central Colorado, in eastern Gunnison County, formed by the confluence of Taylor and East rivers. Just past the town of Gunnison, the river begins to swell into the expanse of Blue Mesa Reservoir, a 36-mile long reservoir formed by Blue Mesa Dam, where it receives the Lake Fork of the Gunnison. Just downstream it is dammed again to form Morrow Point Reservoir, then just downstream of that dammed for the final time to form Crystal Reservoir. The reservoirs produce hydroelectric power and supply water for the surrounding areas for both municipal and irrigation use. The reservoirs are the upper part of the Black Canyon of the Gunnison, one of the longest, narrowest, and deepest gorges in the world. Below Crystal Dam it begins to roar through massive cataracts and flows through the deepest part of the gorge. At the outlet of the canyon it receives the North Fork River, then downstream near Delta is joined by the Uncompahgre River. It then winds through desert canyonlands until it empties into the Colorado near Grand Junction, carrying almost as much water as the former. The first non-native to see and record information of the Gunnison River was Juan Maria de Rivera, who came to the banks of the river just below its confluence with the Uncompahgre River in 1761 and 1765. It was again seen in 1776 by Silvestre Vélez de Escalante. At the time the Spanish name for the river was Rio de San Javier (Xavier), and the Native American name was Tomichi. Escalante noted that Rivera thought it was "the great Rio del Tizon", the long used Spanish name for the lower Colorado River. The Gunnison River ranges in width from 100 to 1000 feet and 3 to 50 feet in depth. The river's powerful current and many rapids make upstream travel nearly impossible. It is navigable for small craft throughout its course and by larger boats below the Black Canyon. Parts of the Black Canyon are unnavigable to any sorts of craft because of giant cataracts. Navigation through the entire canyon is dangerous and for experienced boaters only. Part of the river's water is diverted to irrigate the Uncompahgre Valley via the 5 mi long Gunnison Tunnel, which was built between 1905 and 1909.   Features Detailed, Digital Fishing Guidebook 10 maps covering all public access areas with GPS Coordinates Fishing Regulations Insect Hatch Charts Recommend flies by season to use Boater Put In's and Take Outs You can also purchase the South Platte River Handy Map, our Micro Fiber Lens Cleaning Cloth, Bandanna and Map, all-in-one product for $12.99 100% waterproof, fade and wrinkle resistant, can fold up to handkerchief size.
