1908 Map of Engineer Mountain

About this map

Hermosa Park and the high peaks of the San Miguel Mountains dominate this early 20th-century survey of the Colorado high country. The landscape is defined by the steep transition from the Siderock Ridge and Engineer Mtn down toward the Rio Animas River valley. A critical transportation corridor is visible along the eastern edge of the map, where the Denver and Rio Grande R R follows the river, serving mountain outposts like Tacoma and Cascade Siding.
