1950 Map of Kings Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1959

About this map

Mining operations and water engineering define this high-altitude landscape along the border of Colorado and Wyoming. The Village Belle Mine and the Kings Canyon Mine reflect an era of mineral extraction that shaped local settlement patterns, including small enclaves like Camp Nelson and Village. To support the area's agricultural or industrial needs, a complex network of irrigation infrastructure was established, notably the Hardwork Ditch, Allard Ditch, and Government Ditch which trace the contours of Kings Canyon Creek.
