1929 Map of Dillon

About this map

The Blue River valley serves as the central corridor for this 1929 survey, documenting the region before the creation of modern reservoirs altered the landscape. Dillon stands as a primary mountain settlement, situated at the confluence of the Blue River and the Snake River, while the Colorado and Southern railroad tracks follow the river's path, connecting smaller stops like Dickey and Braddocks. This era represents a period when narrow-gauge rail lines still served the high-altitude mining and ranching economy, tracing through the terrain below the Gore Range.
