About this map

The high Sawatch and Gore Ranges dominate this mid-century survey, centered on the strategic mountain corridor of Tennessee Pass. The map captures the significant military presence at Camp Hale and the White River National Forest Military Reservation, a site essential for alpine training during the era. To the south, the industrial landscape of Leadville is documented in detail, showing its connection to the Denver and Rio Grande Western RR and the Arkansas River.
