1929 Map of Dillon

About this map

Dillon and Frisco serve as the primary hubs in this high-altitude study of the Central Rockies, documented before the valley's landscape was fundamentally altered by modern water management. The topography centers on the confluence of the Blue River and Tenmile Creek, a vital intersection for local travel and industry. To the west, the massive peaks of the Gore Range rise sharply, including Buffalo Mtn and Red Peak, while the Tenmile Range dominates the southern sector with its numbered summits from Peak 1 to Peak 5. Evidence of the region's mining and transportation history is scattered throughout the drainages, from the high Boss Mine north of Keller Mtn to the small rail-side stops at Dickey and Braddocks. The map also captures early crossing points like Vail Pass and Shrine Pass, along with the Gore Range Trail winding through the White River National Forest.
