1963 Map of Durango West

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The mountain-rimmed valley of Durango anchors the eastern edge of this landscape, where the D & R G W RR follows the winding path of the Animas River. The map captures the transition from town life to the high-country industry of the San Juan National Forest, where a network of water features like the Big Stick Ditch and Lightner Creek support the local topography. Evidence of the area's extractive history is prominent, from the Peerless Mine and Morning Star Mine to an Old Railroad Grade that speaks to the shifting transport needs of the mid-20th century.
