1898 Map of Durango
USGS Topo · Published 1898About this map
Durango serves as the focal point of this late 19th-century survey, situated at the confluence of Lightner Creek and the Animas River. The landscape is defined by its industrial activity and early rail infrastructure, with the Denver and Rio Grande R. R. and the Rio Grande Southern R. R. (Main Line) threading through the river valleys. Hardrock mining interest is evident in the rugged high country to the west, where operations like the Durango Girl Mine and the Snow Storm Mill occupy remote gulches.
