1963 Map of Eagle Nest

About this map

Elizabethtown and Eagle Nest anchor this 1960s survey of the Moreno Valley, illustrating a landscape defined by high-altitude mining history and water management. The map details a transition from the historic gold-producing districts near Grouse Gulch to the recreational and ranching developments around Eagle Nest Lake. Mining remains are prominent, with the Klondike Mine situated on the slopes of the Sangre de Cristo Mountains and multiple unidentified mines and gravel pits scattered across the northern terrain.
