1994 Map of Leadville South

USGS Topo · Published 1998

About this map

California Gulch serves as a central artery for the historic mining district south of Leadville, revealing a landscape heavily shaped by nineteenth-century industry and subsequent remediation. The map details numerous historic sites such as Adelaide and Oro, alongside active remnants of the silver boom like the Yak Tunnel and Resurrection Mill. While the eastern slopes are dominated by mine-related terrain including Carbonate Hill and Yankee Hill, the western portion of the sheet transitions into the managed landscapes of the San Isabel National Forest and the Turquoise Lake Recreation Area. The Arkansas River valley floor contains essential infrastructure including the County Airport and the Leadville Junction rail connection. The presence of both the St Joseph and Evergreen cemeteries provides a valuable resource for genealogists researching the families that built this high-altitude community.
