About this map

The high-altitude mining and recreation landscape of the Continental Divide is documented here as it appeared in the late 1980s and early 1990s. The city of Leadville anchors the southeast corner, surrounded by a dense network of historic mining claims and landmarks including Fryer Hill, the Matchless Mine, and the Jennie June Mine. The industrial heritage is visible in the rail lines of the Burlington Northern and the Leadville Junction area, while the growth of local infrastructure is noted at the West Park Sch and the Evergreen Cem.

Outdoor recreation and water management dominate the western and northern sections, where the Turquoise Lake and the Turquoise Lake Recreation Area provide a contrast to the high peaks. Named landmarks like the Sugarloaf Dam and various boat ramps such as Tabor Boat Ramp and Silver Dollar show the developed nature of the shoreline. To the north, the Tennessee Pass and Cooper Hill mark significant crossings between the White River National Forest and San Isabel National Forest.
