1960 Map of Marble

About this map

The Marble townsite sits at the heart of this high-elevation terrain, where the industrial legacy of the area is carved into the mountainsides. This 1960 field check captures a period of transition, showing the Yule Quarry and Strauss Quarry along Yule Creek, sites famous for the white marble used in national monuments. The map documents the isolation and specialized land use of the valley, from the Colorado Outward Bound Sch to the high-altitude Skyline Mine near Whitehouse Mountain.
