About this map

The Breckenridge townsite and its sprawling winter sports infrastructure dominate this high-altitude landscape. Situated between the Tenmile Range to the west and the high peaks of the Continental Mountains to the east, the area shows a clear transition from the historical mining era to a recreation-based economy. Evidence of the region's heritage is preserved at the Breckenridge Masonic Cem and Valley Brook Cem, while the industrial past is marked by features like the Quandary Tunnel and the Hoosier Pass Tunnel.

Modern land use is defined by the Breckenridge Ski Area, featuring numerous lift lines such as the Falcon Chair and a dense network of runs like the Four O'Clock Trail. Alpine water management is evident at Sawmill Reservoir and Goose Pasture Tarn. The map also details a complex system of hiking and recreation routes, including the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail and the Wheeler Nat. Rec. Trail, providing a clear picture of the region's contemporary character within the White River National Forest.
