1960 Map of Independence Pass

USGS Topo · Published 1965

About this map

Independence Pass crowns this high-altitude landscape where the Continental Divide separates the White River and San Isabel national forests. The 1960 field survey captures a region defined by its mining heritage and complex water management systems, including the Lincoln Gulch Connection Canal and the Twin Lakes Reservoir and Canal Co Tunnel No 1. High-country settlements like Independence and Everett are situated along the Roaring Fork River and North Fork Lake Creek, while industrial remnants like the Ruby Mine and various Prospects dot the slopes of Red Mountain and Grizzly Peak. The map provides detailed topography of the granite summits including Ouray Peak and Garfield Peak, alongside modern recreational additions such as the Lost Man Campground and Portal Campground.
