USGS Topo · Published 1945About this map
Mining operations and high-altitude transport networks define this section of the Continental Divide during the mid-twentieth century. The landscape is marked by the industrial legacy of the Silver Boom, featuring the Old Alpine Tunnel and an intricate Aerial Tramway system servicing remote claims like the Pride of the West Mine. Settlement clusters such as St Elmo, Romley, and Hancock follow the steep drainages of Chalk Creek, while the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad line pushes through the southern corridor near Monarch.
