About this map

La Plata Mountains peaks and mining claims dominate this 1963 survey, revealing the high-altitude industrial landscape within the San Juan National Forest. The map documents a concentration of gold and silver mining infrastructure, including the Gold King Mill and various operations such as the Tomahawk Mine, Columbus Mine, and Comstock Mine. These sites are linked by high-alpine paths like the Columbus Pack Trail and the Indian Ridge Trail, which navigate the complex terrain between Hesperus Mountain and Sharkstooth Peak.
