1955 Map of Ironton

USGS Topo · Published 1971

About this map

The high-altitude mining landscapes of Ouray and San Juan Counties come into focus on this mid-century survey, illustrating an era when the intense industrial extraction of the San Juan Mountains was clearly etched into the terrain. The map centers on the legendary Camp Bird operations, featuring the Camp Bird Tailings Pond and the extensive Camp Bird No 14 Level. This complex network of tunnels and levels, such as Bankers Tunnel and Chicago Tunnel, reveals the vertical scale of the hunt for gold and silver.
