1963 Map of Durango West

USGS Topo · Published 1970

About this map

The rugged western edge of Durango is defined by a landscape of deep canyons and industrial heritage in the early 1960s. High peaks like Smelter Mountain and Perins Peak overlook the narrow valley of the Animas River, where the Denver and Rio Grande Western tracks parallel the water. The map documents an era of active and legacy extraction, with an array of workings concentrated along Coal Gulch, including the Sunshine Mine, Morning Star Mine, and Victory Mine.
