About this map

The Rio Grande Southern R. R. serves as the industrial backbone of this mountainous landscape, winding through the southern half of the quadrangle to connect high-altitude resource extraction points. Deep within the Montezuma National Forest, the map documents a robust mining economy, particularly in the northeast around the Cumberland Basin. Here, the Cumberland Mill and Columbus Mine operate amidst a cluster of peaks including Hesperus Peak and Mt. Moss.
