1963 Map of Hermosa

USGS Topo · Published 1981

About this map

The Animas River valley serves as the central corridor for this 1963 survey, where the Denver and Rio Grande Western railroad traces the river's path through the San Juan National Forest. Small mountain settlements like Hermosa and Rockwood are positioned near the tracks, reflecting the era's reliance on the rail line for transport and access to high-altitude timber and mineral resources. The presence of the Hermosa Cem and several Prospect markings suggests a history of localized mining and community life established well before the mid-century photogrammetric update.
