1970 Map of Climax
USGS Topo · Published 1988About this map
Climax sits atop the high-altitude industrial landscape of the Continental Divide, where the extraction of molybdenum and silver shaped the development of Lake and Park Counties. This 1970s survey captures an intensive mining environment characterized by complex underground structures and surface operations, including the Phillipson Portal and the massive Glory Hole excavation. The transportation network is defined by the high-elevation Fremont Pass and the Colorado and Southern railroad grade, which served these remote operations.
