1955 Map of Howardsville

USGS Topo · Published 1957

About this map

Howardsville and Middleton anchor this mid-century survey of the high San Juan Mountains, where the landscape is defined by a dense concentration of hard-rock mining operations. The map documents an intensive extraction economy, noting both historic sites and those still in operation, such as the Osceola Mine (Active) and Pride of the West Mine (Active). Heavy industry footprints like the Pride of the West Mill and the Unity Tunnel are shown alongside the intricate network of aerial tramways and pack trails that connected these remote sites to the valley floor.
