1962 Map of Fulford

About this map

Fulford and its surrounding high-country mining claims are documented in this 1962 field-checked survey, showing the area's transition from active extraction to a landscape of trails and mountain parks. The map details the steep geography of the White River National Forest, where significant peaks like New York Mountain and Adam Mountain overlook a complex network of water sources and gulches. Evidence of earlier industry is preserved through labels for the Lady Belle Mine and the Polar Star Mine, while the social history of the remote settlement is marked by a Cem and the evocative Graveyard Flats. Numerous mountain parks, including Triangle Park, Metheny Park, and Bumpity Park, provide breaks in the vertical terrain. A system of jeep trails and pack trails connects these high-elevation points to water features like East Brush Creek and Nolan Creek, illustrating the logistical challenges of the central Colorado mountains.
