1994 Map of Como

About this map

Como anchors this high-elevation landscape in South Park, where the remnants of mining and ranching history are deeply etched into the mountain terrain. This 1994 revision, based on mid-century topography and late-1980s imagery, documents a transition from active industry to historical sites. The extraction of minerals is marked by the Silverheels Mine and the Fortune Placer Mine, while the agricultural footprint is preserved through family holdings like the Robinson Ranch and Eightmile Ranch. Much of the northern terrain falls within the Pike National Forest, where the Gold Dust Trail and Boreas Pass Road follow natural contours through gulches such as Deadwood Gulch and Montgomery Gulch. Former civic life is represented by several inactive locations, including the Fremont Sch (Site) and the Hamilton (Site) settlement, offering a clear record of the area's shifting population centers over the decades.
