1953 Map of Dolores Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1954

About this map

San Miguel Mountains topography dominates this mid-century survey, a landscape defined by the transition between the Uncompahgre National Forest and San Juan National Forest. High-altitude mining history is visible near the Silver Pick Basin, where the Silver Pick Mill stands as a remnant of earlier extraction eras. Further south, the West Dolores River valley serves as a focal point for settlement and recreation, anchored by Dunton, the Dunton Hot Spring, and the Dunton Guard Sta. The map provides a detailed record of high-country infrastructure, from the Old Railroad Grade in the south to the network of stock driveways like the Highline Stock Driveway and Ground Hog Stock Driveway used for moving livestock through the meadows. Notable peaks including Dolores Peak and El Diente Peak tower over the basins and alpine lakes such as Navajo Lake.
