1913 Map of Hahns Peak

About this map

The Elkhorn Mine sits near the northern boundary of this 1913 survey, reflecting the mining activity that once defined this portion of the Hayden National Forest. This high-altitude landscape is characterized by the divide between Routt County and Jackson County, with the Sawtooth Range and the Continental Divide forming a natural spine across the terrain. Small settlements and isolated outposts like Columbine, Slavonia, and Clark suggest the early twentieth-century development of the region, while the presence of the Moon Hill School, Mad Creek School, and Butler School indicates established homesteading communities tucked into the valleys. Ranching footprints are evident through labels such as the Kinney Road Ranch and Boetcher Ranch. This map documents a period before modern infrastructure, where the Ute Trail and various Sawmills represent the primary modes of travel and industry across the Routt National Forest.
