1970 Map of Climax

About this map

Mining operations at Climax and along the Continental Divide define this 1970 landscape, where the extraction of molybdenum and gold shaped the high-altitude terrain. The map documents an industrial infrastructure of tunnels, portals, and tailings, specifically noting the Phillipson Portal and Storke Portal near Fremont Pass. The Colorado and Southern railroad tracks follow the headwaters of the East Fork Arkansas River, providing a vital transit link through the mountain passes.
