1963 Map of Hesperus

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

The San Juan Mountains define the northern reaches of this Colorado survey, where narrow gulches and ridges descend toward the La Plata River valley. The high-altitude landscape is marked by a legacy of resource extraction, with numerous workings like the Bay City Mine, Snowslide Mine, and Texas Chief Mine scattered through the steep terrain. These mining operations relied on an intricate network of water management, evidenced by the La Plata and Cherry Creek Ditch and the Big Stick Ditch that traverse the slopes.
