1962 Map of Iris

USGS Topo · Published 1964

About this map

Iris and the surrounding mining district near the Gunnison and Saguache county line are characterized by a dense concentration of early mineral claims and homesteads. The landscape is defined by the steep cuts of Cochetopa Canyon and the winding course of Cochetopa Creek, where small settlements like Sillsville and the Kreuger Ranch once stood. High-altitude mining operations are scattered across the terrain, from the Denver City Mine near the townsite to the Maple Leaf Mine and Hathaway Mine further south.
