About this map

The mountain town of Marble sits at the heart of this high-altitude landscape, situated along the Crystal River where it meets Carbonate Cr. This area is defined by its industrial and recreational legacy, featuring the famous Yule Quarry and the Skyline Mine which carved into the surrounding peaks. The topography is dominated by massive summits such as Mt Daly, Mt Justice, and Whitehouse Mtn, with the town serving as a gateway to the White River National Forest and Gunnison National Forest.

Evidence of the local history is visible at the Marble Cem and the Lily Lake Guard Station near the northwestern boundary. The map traces several difficult routes through the high country, including Yule Pass and Anthracite Pass, which connect disparate drainages like Mud Gulch and N Anthracite Cr. Smaller water bodies like Beaver Lake and Lizard Lake are tucked into the valleys, reflecting a landscape where the extraction of stone once met the early development of Marble Ski recreation.
