1960 Map of Marble

About this map

Marble serves as the focal point for this mountain landscape, positioned along the banks of the Crystal River. The map details the extraction history of the region, notably featuring the Yule Quarry and Strauss Quarry south of the townsite, along with the Genter Mine and Skyline Mine tucked into the surrounding slopes. Transportation and recreation patterns are evident through the presence of a Landing Strip and the Colorado Outward Bound School, reflecting the area's development into a base for wilderness exploration within the Maroon Bells-Snowmass Wilderness and Raggeds Wilderness. Genealogists may find interest in the Marble Cemetery, while the wider landscape is punctuated by landmark peaks such as Mount Justice and Treasure Mountain. The presence of several ranches, including Bair Ranch and Snowshoe Ranch, indicates the localized agricultural footprint maintained amidst the vast stretches of the White River National Forest.
