About this map

Mining operations and high-country meadows define this portion of Eagle County, where the settlement of Fulford sits near the confluence of Nolan Creek and Triangle Creek. The landscape is marked by the legacy of extraction, with the Lady Belle Mine and North Dakota Mine situated on the slopes of Horse Mountain, while the Polar Star Mine and Johnson Mine occupy the southern ridges. These sites are linked by early routes such as Old Fulford and FR 418.

Water management is evident through systems like Bemis Ditch and Graham Ditch, supporting the high-altitude parks and meadows that break up the complex terrain. From the heights of Bellyache Mountain down to the open stretches of Yeoman Park and the somber naming of Graveyard Flats, the map reflects a region shaped by both its natural geology and the prospectors who navigated its canyons and draws, such as Devils Canyon and McGinley Gulch.
