1994 Map of Boreas Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

Parkville and Dyersville anchor this high-altitude landscape along the Continental Divide, where the mining history of the late nineteenth century is still etched into the terrain. The map records a network of early transit routes, including the Old French Pass Toll Road and the Boreas Pass Road, which once served as vital arteries for silver and gold mining operations. Evidence of industrial ambition is found in the scattered remains of the Lincoln Mine, Gold Bell Mine, and Warrior Mark Mine. Cultural landmarks like the Masonic Monument and Bakers Tank offer specific touchpoints for local historians and genealogists. Residential history is preserved through the Schattinger Homestead and Volz Homestead, situated near the headwaters of Michigan Creek. This survey details the overlap of the Arapaho and Pike National Forests, marking a transition from early extraction to modern recreational use via the Colorado Trail.
