1961 Map of Cattle Creek
USGS Topo · Published 1988About this map
The Roaring Fork River corridor defines the eastern edge of this Garfield County landscape, where the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad tracks run parallel to the water. This 1961 edition, with photorevisions through the 1980s, reveals the industrial and recreational evolution of the terrain. The transition from extraction to leisure is visible near the Sunlight Ski Area, which occupies the same rugged slopes as the Sunlight Mine and the Black Diamond Mine. Mining infrastructure remains etched on the land through an Abandoned Tramway and several air shafts.
