1959 Map of Creede

USGS Topo · Published 1979

About this map

Mining operations and high-altitude ranching dominate this 1959 survey of the San Juan Mountains, where the silver-rich terrain around Creede is heavily marked by late-19th-century industrial history. Deep in the canyons of Willow Creek, a concentration of claims including the Equity Mine, Amethyst Mine, and Commodore Mine show the enduring infrastructure of one of Colorado's last great mining booms. The Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad tracks follow the course of the Rio Grande, linking the town to points east through Wagon Wheel Gap.
