1967 Map of Fairview Peak

USGS Topo · Published 1973

About this map

High-altitude mineral extraction and wilderness recreation define this portion of the Gunnison National Forest during the mid-1960s. The landscape is dominated by the massive crest of Fossil Ridge and notable summits like Henry Mountain and Fairview Peak. While much of the terrain is accessible only via primitive routes such as the Gunsight Trail and various unnamed pack trails, evidence of the area's mining history is scattered across the slopes. Documented workings include the Fairview Mine on the northern flank of Terrible Mountain and the Gold Link Mine near the southern boundary. The presence of the Gold Creek Campground and numerous alpine water bodies, including Lamphier Lake and Henry Lake, suggests a transition toward leisure and forest management as primary uses of the land in the decades following the initial mining booms.
