About this map

Hahns Peak serves as a prominent landmark in this 1910-1911 survey of the northern Colorado high country, where mining and ranching interests were established within the Routt National Forest. The landscape is defined by the Continental Divide and the Sierra Madre, separating the headwaters of the Encampment River and Elk River. Small communities and isolated outposts like Slavonia, Pearl, and Columbine are documented alongside specialized operations such as the Elkhorn Mine and various sawmills.

Educational life in this frontier environment is visible through several scattered institutions, including Moon Hill School, Mad Creek School, and Butler School. Large-scale ranching is represented by named holdings like the Boetcher Ranch and Kinney Road Ranch, reflecting the early 20th-century agricultural footprint before more modern development reached these elevations. The map also traces the Independence Trail and early roads connecting Clark and Trull to the higher alpine basins.
