About this map

Leadville and its high-altitude surroundings are defined by a dense legacy of hard-rock mining and water management. The landscape is carved by countless mines and shafts, including the Jennie June Mine, Turquoise Chief Mine, and the complex network surrounding Stray Horse Gulch. The residential expansion of the town is evident along streets like Mount Massive Dr and Lodestone Dr, while the historic Evergreen Cemetery rests on the western edge of the settlement.

Water infrastructure is prominent, featuring the Wurts Ditch and De Lappe Ditch, which divert alpine flows. Recreational sites ring the massive Turquoise Lake, with several named locations like Molly Brown Campground and Lady of the Lake Picnic Ground reflecting the area's transition into a destination for outdoor enthusiasts. To the north, the Cooper Hill Ski Area and the rugged Tennessee Pass mark the gateway into the neighboring watershed.
