1957 Map of Idaho Springs
USGS Topo · Published 1959About this map
Clear Creek flows through the northern reaches of this landscape, anchoring the settlement of Idaho Springs as it appeared in the late 1950s. The map illustrates a region deeply defined by its mining heritage, with dozens of named excavations and infrastructure such as the Colorado School of Mines Experimental Mine, the Lamartine Mine, and the Black Eagle Mill dotting the gulches. Scientific and recreational interests are well-represented by the Inter-University High Altitude Lab near Echo Lake Park and several seasonal retreats like Camp Wilaha and Camp Shwayder.
