1916 Map of Creede

About this map

The silver mining operations surrounding Creede dominate the landscape of the upper Rio Grande during this early-twentieth-century survey. While the town serves as the regional hub, the industrial activity is concentrated to the north at Bachelor and Sunnyside, where the Emma Mine and the Nelson Tunnel represent the deep-earth engineering required to extract wealth from the San Juan National Forest. These mining camps were connected by rugged trails and serviced by the Denver and Rio Grande railroad, which follows the river's bend toward the southeast.
