About this map

The town of Breckenridge and its high-elevation surroundings are mapped here during the early 21st century, revealing a landscape defined by its mining heritage and its modern identity as a ski destination. Located within the White River National Forest, the map illustrates the transition from industrial extraction to recreation, with the Breckenridge Ski Area marked across the slopes of Peak 8 and Peak 7. The legacy of the area's pioneer days remains visible through the Valley Brook Cem and Breckenridge Masonic Cem, as well as named features like French Gulch and Gibson Hill.

Subterranean history is documented through the McCullough Tunnel and Quandary Tunnel, while the hydrological importance of the region is anchored by the Blue River and reservoirs like Goose Pasture Tarn. The rugged topography of the Tenmile Range and Mosquito Range is detailed with numerous 13,000 and 14,000-foot summits, including Quandary Peak and North Star Mountain, providing a comprehensive look at the high-country terrain of Summit and Park counties.
