About this map

The San Juan Mountains and the high San Luis Valley dominate this mid-century landscape, capturing a region defined by high-altitude mining towns and agricultural river basins. The Continental Divide zigzags across the center, separating the headwaters of the Rio Grande from the western drainage of the Animas River and San Juan River. Settlement patterns follow the narrow-gauge path of the Denver & Rio Grande Western Railroad, which connects historic mining hubs like Silverton, Telluride, and Rico to the broader valley floor.
