1963 Map of Hesperus
USGS Topo · Published 1973About this map
The La Plata Mountains rise sharply in this early 1960s study, where the La Plata River carves a path through the San Juan National Forest. The landscape is heavily marked by Colorado's mining legacy, showing the concentration of extraction points along the river valley near Mayday and Hesperus. Numerous workings such as the Texas Chief Mine, Bay City Mine, and several coal operations like the Coal King Mine illustrate the transition from precious metal prospecting to fuel resources.
