1950 Map of Kings Canyon

USGS Topo · Published 1975

About this map

Medicine Bow National Forest and Roosevelt National Forest meet in this high-altitude landscape along the Colorado and Wyoming border. The 1950 field check reveals a region defined by extraction and remote encampments, with industrial sites like the Village Belle Mine and the Kings Canyon Mine marking the mountain slopes. These mining operations were supported by the presence of the Union Pacific railroad, which cuts through the western edge of the quadrangle near Camp and Clayton.
