1970 Map of Leadville North

About this map

Leadville and its northern mining districts dominate this 1970 survey, revealing the industrial and recreational character of the High Rockies. The northern edge of the city shows the West Park Sch and Evergreen Cem, while the legendary mining history of the region is grounded in labels like the Matchless Mine on Fryer Hill and the Jennie June Mine. The landscape is defined by the Continental Divide, which separates the headwaters of the Arkansas River from the Tennessee Creek drainage. Transportation infrastructure is anchored by the Denver and Rio Grande Western Railroad winding through Tennessee Pass. To the west, the Sugarloaf Dam contains Turquoise Lake, where campgrounds like Molly Brown Campground reflect the era's growing focus on forest-based recreation within the San Isabel National Forest.
