1960 Map of Fairplay West

USGS Topo · Published 1967

About this map

Mining history and high-altitude water management dominate this 1960s study of the western slopes near Fairplay. The landscape is heavily marked by industrial activity, showing extensive tailings along the Middle Fork South Platte River and an intricate network of irrigation and hydraulic mining infrastructure, including the Fairplay Mining Ditch and the Warm Springs Ditch. The presence of several formerly active locations, such as Sacramento (Site) and Horseshoe (Site), points to the transience of settlement in this mountain environment.
