USGS Topo · Published 1962About this map
The silver mining boom of the late nineteenth century is the central focus of this survey, which documents Aspen at its peak of industrial activity before the silver crash. The town is situated at the confluence of Hunter Creek and the Roaring Fork, served by two major rail lines: the Denver and Rio Grande R.R. (Aspen Br.) and the A. T. and S. F. R. R. (Colorado Midland Div.). This network of iron and steam connected the remote mountain district to global markets.
