1967 Map of Granite

USGS Topo · Published 1972

About this map

Arkansas River flows southward through the heart of this high-elevation landscape, where the waters of the Twin Lakes Reservoir and Clear Creek Reservoir dominate the local geography. The settlement of Granite sits along the river at the intersection of industry and transportation, serving as a focal point near the Lake Co Chaffee Co boundary. The area's extraction history is visible through the Columbine Mine, various Placer Mines, and numerous prospects scattered across the surrounding slopes. Transportation follows the rugged river corridor, notably via the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad, while the Main Range Trail (Pack) indicates the more primitive routes used to navigate the San Isabel National Forest. Local genealogists will find the Granite Cem and small settlements like Kobe and Balltown helpful for placing families within this mountainous terrain.
