1958 Map of Grays Peak

About this map

The high-altitude spine of the Continental Divide anchors this 1958 survey, where the rugged peaks of the Front Range meet the intensive silver-mining history of the late 19th century. Near the settlement of Graymont, the landscape is defined by deep gulches and steep ridgelines that once teemed with mineral prospectors. The map records the industrial footprints of sites like the Hamill Mine, Santiago Mine, and Waldorf Mine, illustrating the complex network of tunnels and claims that drove Colorado's mountain economy.
