About this map

Leadville and its northern surroundings sit atop the Continental Divide in this 2019 survey, illustrating the high-altitude landscape where the E Fork Arkansas River begins its descent. The map highlights the historic mining districts and residential areas that define the region's character, including Poverty Flat, Fairview Hill, and Yankee Hill. The infrastructure of the area is tied to both transit and water management, featuring the Leadville Junction rail site and the expansive Turquoise Lake and Big Evans Reservoir.

The complex topography is marked by numerous named gulches like Saint Kevin Gulch and Evans Gulch, alongside recreational landmarks such as Cooper Hill and the Continental Divide National Scenic Trail. Cultural sites like Evergreen Cem and the small settlement at Crane Park provide specific points of interest for local historians studying the long-standing human presence in these high mountain forests.
