1971 Map of Ludlow

USGS Topo · Published 1974

About this map

The Ludlow Memorial stands as a somber landmark on this landscape, marking a site of deep significance for Colorado's industrial and labor history. Situated along the tracks of the Colorado and Southern railroad, the small settlement of Ludlow is flanked by evidence of the region’s extensive coal mining legacy. To the west, the Berwind Ruins and various Mines tucked into Berwind Canyon illustrate the once-active mining camps that carved into the foothills of the Black Hills. This 1971 field-checked map reveals a terrain heavily shaped by extraction and transportation, where an Old Railroad Grade and the Hoehne Road navigate between deep drainages like Arroyo Del Agua and Chicosa Arroyo. From the Ramey Mines to the Majestic Mine, the document provides a detailed record of the pits and adits that defined the local economy during the early to mid-20th century.
