1955 Map of Handies Peak
USGS Topo · Published 1970About this map
Animas Forks (Aband), Eureka (Aband), and Mineral Point (Aband) appear as silent remnants of a high-altitude mining boom on this 1955 survey of the San Juan Mountains. The landscape is a network of steep basins and high passes, where industrial ambition left behind works like the Sunnyside Mine, Gold Prince Mine, and Columbus Mine. These sites are linked by the headwaters of the Animas River and Henson Creek, with transportation routes like Engineer Pass and Cinnamon Pass crossing the Continental Divide between San Juan, Ouray, and Hinsdale counties.
