About this map

High-altitude mining camps and the crest of the Rockies dominate this 1930s survey, showing a landscape defined by the rugged extraction of mineral wealth. The Continental Divide zigzags across the terrain, separating the headwaters of the Blue River and the East Fork Arkansas River. At the northern edge, the settlement of Breckenridge is surrounded by named gulches like French Gulch and Illinois Gulch, hinting at the diverse gold-rush era heritage of the area. Further south, the high-elevation operations at London Mine sit nestled between London Mtn and Pennsylvania Mtn, serviced by the Colorado and Southern RR.
