About this map

The Continental Divide serves as the backbone for this high-altitude survey of Clear Creek County, where the historic mining towns of Empire and Lawson sit along the West Fork Clear Creek. This area's industrial legacy is carved into the mountainsides, marked by the Minnesota Mines, Free American Mine, and the Bellevue Hudson Tunnel. In the north, the settlement of Alice is positioned near the base of St Marys Glacier, a prominent landmark that attracted early alpine tourism, evidenced by the St Marys Glacier Lodge.
