1942 Map of Leadville
USGS Topo · Published 1943About this map
The Camp Hale Military Reservation dominates the northern landscape of this 1942 survey, reflecting the area's vital role in high-altitude training during the war. Located in the heart of the Rocky Mountains, the map centers on the high-elevation city of Leadville, surrounded by the industrial legacy of the Oro mining district and settlements like Stringtown and Bucktown. The transportation network is defined by the Denver and Rio Grande Western RR and the Colorado and Southern Ry, which hauled ore and supplies through steep passes. To the west, the U. S. Fish Hatchery sits near Turquoise Lake, while the southern reaches show the Twin Lakes Reservoir and the Arkansas River headwaters. Notable engineering works like the Carlton Tunnel and the Hagerman Tunnel appear as scars of the region's relentless mining and rail history.
