1913 Map of Hahns Peak

About this map

Hahns Pk towers over the surrounding landscape of northern Routt Co, anchoring a region defined by early mining endeavors and high-altitude ranching during the first decade of the twentieth century. The settlement of Columbine sits near the base of the peak, while the Elkhorn Mine and several scattered sawmills indicate the extraction-based economy that drew settlers to these drainages. The Elk River and its multiple forks, including the North Fork Elk River and Middle Fork Elk River, carve through the terrain, providing water for remote outposts like Slavonia and the Boettcher Ranch.
