About this map

The military reservation at Camp Hale dominates the Eagle River valley in this high-altitude survey, reflecting the area's strategic importance during the mid-20th century. Situated near Pando, the installation was established to train specialized mountain troops, a function suited to the nearby Tennessee Pass and the steep slopes of the Gore Range. To the south, the city of Leadville serves as the industrial and transportation anchor, where the Denver and Rio Grande Western RR navigates the complex terrain to reach active operations like the Matchless Mine.
