1893 Map of Anthracite

USGS Topo · Published 1912

About this map

Mining settlements and high-altitude basins dominate this early survey of the West Elk Mountains, conducted during the region's late-19th-century silver and coal boom. Irwin and Ruby sit at the heart of the district, positioned near Lake Brennan and the dramatic Scarp Ridge. The map documents the critical early infrastructure of the Gunnison country, from the White River Trail to the remote mining outpost at Floresta.
